Scorpion Solitaire

Scorpion is played entirely in the tableau. Arrange the cards into four complete runs, King down to Ace, each in a single suit. A finished run is lifted off the table automatically.

• 49 cards are dealt into seven columns of seven. In the first four columns the bottom three cards are face down; everything else is face up. The last three cards wait in the reserve.
• A card may be placed on the card one rank higher of the same suit (5♣ on 6♣).
• You may move any face-up card together with all cards on top of it — the cards above don't have to be in order.
• Only a King (with whatever lies on it) can move into an empty column.
• Click the reserve once to deal its three cards onto the first three columns.

Controls

Drag a face-up card to move it and everything above it, or tap it to move it automatically. Ctrl+Z/U undo, H hint, Space deals the reserve.

Tips

Uncover the nine face-down cards as early as possible, and don't deal the reserve too soon — it can bury a card you need. Moving a group that "scrambles" a column is often fine, as long as it frees a King's run.
