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