Scorpion Solitaire Rules

Goal

Form four sets of cards of the same suit from King to Ace within the Columns.

The Deal

Using one deck, each of seven Columns is dealt 7 cards. In the first four Columns, the first 3 cards are dealt face down - the Scorpion's tail. All other cards are dealt face up. Three cards will remain in the Stock.

Columns

Columns are built DOWN in the SAME SUIT. For example, a 6 of clubs may only be placed onto a 7 of clubs.

Any number of face up cards may be moved whether in sequence or not provided the above build rule is applied.

When a face down card is the topmost card in a Column, it is flipped face up.

Empty Columns may be filled with Kings.

The goal is to build 4 sets of cards within the layout from King down to Ace in the same suit. One point is scored for each card built within a Column starting with a King. For example, if a Column has a K, Q, and J of the same suit in sequence then three points are scored for that combination.

Stock

3 cards will remain in the Stock after the deal. When play comes to a standstill (or sooner if desired,) clicking on the Stock deals it's 3 cards one each to the first three Columns.
