Scorpion Solitaire
Posted By admin On 03/04/22Solitaire is an exciting way to pass the time - anywhere, any time. Whether you are at home on lazy day, at the office taking a break, or outside with your laptop soaking in the sun, spice up your day with a game of solitaire. Using two decks, cards are dealt to 10 Columns. The first 4 Columns are dealt 11 cards each, and the remaining Columns are dealt 10 cards each. Unlike single-deck Scorpion, all cards are dealt out initially. In each of the first 5 Columns, 5 cards will be face down - the Scorpion's tail. Scorpion Solitaire is a solitaire card game in which the goal is to build four columns down by suit from King to Ace. Cards do not have to be fully packed to move between the columns, so any card that is face up can be dragged onto a column that has a top card value one greater than the card being dragged, and is of the same suit. An easy two-deck variation of Scorpion where all cards are already dealt in the beginning. Thanks for playing Solitaire!

The game starts with 49 cards dealt into seven columns of seven cards each on the tableau. The first four columns each have three face-down cards with four face-up cards placed over them. The cards in the remaining three columns are all faced up. The three leftover cards are set aside for later.
Cards in the tableau are built down by suit and every face up card is available for play, no matter where in the column it is. That means that any card can be placed on top of a card that is a rank higher. However, once a card from the bottom or middle of a column is moved, all cards on top of it are moved as well as one unit. Also, nothing can be placed on an ace and gaps on the tableau can only be taken by kings or sequences with Kings as their bottom cards. Furthermore, once a face-down card is exposed, it is turned face up.
When no more moves are possible, the three leftover cards are dealt onto the first three columns and put into play.

As earlier mentioned, the object of the game is to build four columns of suit sequences from king down to ace. So when one such column is built successfully, it is a general rule to leave this column alone, unless it covers a face-down card.
