Meet Scorpion
The following details apply here. Scorpion on 87dailian.com uses one 52-card deck with four suits. The tableau has seven columns. Four complete King-to-Ace runs clear the game. Moves build down in the same suit rather than allowing cross-suit destinations.
Read the opening cards
The following details apply here. The first three cards in each of the first four columns are face down. All cards in the last three columns are face up. Three cards remain in the stock. Each opening column contains seven cards for a total of 49 tableau cards.
Check rank and suit together
The following details apply here. A moved group's leading card must land on a card exactly one rank higher in the same suit. A seven of hearts cannot land on an eight of spades. A seven of hearts can land on an exposed eight of hearts. A King cannot land on another card because no higher rank exists.
Move exposed groups
Keep these points in mind. Any face-up card can be selected together with every card beneath it. The selected cards do not need to descend in rank to travel together. The leading selected card still has to meet the destination rule. The selected cards do not need to share a suit to travel together.
The empty-column rule
The following details apply here. A group led by a lower rank cannot enter an empty column. An empty column is therefore less flexible than an empty column in ordinary Spider. An empty column accepts a King or a group led by a King. Cards beneath a moved King do not need to be in sequence.
Reveal the hidden cards
Here are the details for this mode. The next hidden card is revealed automatically. Removing all face-up cards above a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. An exposed card can carry the cards beneath it when its own destination is legal. Undo restores the earlier hidden-card arrangement when the move is reversed.
Use the stock once
The stock contains one final deal of three cards. This Scorpion version permits its stock deal when columns are empty. There are no further stock cards after the three-card deal. Dealing places a face-up card on each of the first three columns.
Complete a suit
The following details apply here. A completed run must descend from King to Ace in one suit. Moving an unordered group does not make that group a completed sequence. All thirteen cards in a collected run must be face up. The game removes a qualifying run automatically from the bottom of a column.
Practice Scorpion decisions
The following details apply here. Replay and Undo let you explore another approach to the same layout. A move can carry unwanted cards along with a useful leading card. Hint lists legal choices without promising a winning continuation. Checking the whole moved group helps you anticipate what will become blocked.
