How to play Scorpion Solitaire
Look at the complete hand before deciding. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
