Scorpion Solitaire: instructions and practice
A clear plan starts with the current position. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Use another round to revisit a decision. Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Move a face-up card with its tail onto the next higher same-suit rank. Kings fill empty columns. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
