Meet Scorpion
Keep these points in mind. Four complete King-to-Ace runs clear the game. Scorpion on jxhaishan.com uses one 52-card deck with four suits. The tableau has seven columns. Moves build down in the same suit rather than allowing cross-suit destinations.
The initial seven columns
Here are the details for this mode. All cards in the last three columns are face up. Each opening column contains seven cards for a total of 49 tableau cards. Three cards remain in the stock. The first three cards in each of the first four columns are face down.
Check rank and suit together
A few details help explain this feature. A seven of hearts can land on an exposed eight of hearts. A seven of hearts cannot land on an eight of spades. A moved group's leading card must land on a card exactly one rank higher in the same suit. A King cannot land on another card because no higher rank exists.
Order within a group may vary
The following details apply here. The selected cards do not need to descend in rank to travel together. The selected cards do not need to share a suit to travel together. The leading selected card still has to meet the destination rule. Any face-up card can be selected together with every card beneath it.
Only Kings fill empty space
A few details help explain this feature. Cards beneath a moved King do not need to be in sequence. 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. An empty column is therefore less flexible than an empty column in ordinary Spider.
Uncover another choice
Here are the details for this mode. 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. The next hidden card is revealed automatically. Undo restores the earlier hidden-card arrangement when the move is reversed.
The final three cards
A few details help explain this feature. 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.
Collect ordered runs
Keep these points in mind. 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. A completed run must descend from King to Ace in one suit.
Practice Scorpion decisions
Keep these points in mind. Checking the whole moved group helps you anticipate what will become blocked. A move can carry unwanted cards along with a useful leading card. Hint lists legal choices without promising a winning continuation. Replay and Undo let you explore another approach to the same layout.
