A different kind of sequence
Here are the details for this mode. The tableau has seven columns. Moves build down in the same suit rather than allowing cross-suit destinations. Scorpion on zhyw1688.com uses one 52-card deck with four suits. Four complete King-to-Ace runs clear the game.
The initial seven columns
Here are the details for this mode. Each opening column contains seven cards for a total of 49 tableau cards. All cards in the last three columns are face up. 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 moved group's leading card must land on a card exactly one rank higher in the same suit. A seven of hearts can land on an exposed eight of hearts. A King cannot land on another card because no higher rank exists. A seven of hearts cannot land on an eight of spades.
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 leading selected card still has to meet the destination rule. Any face-up card can be selected together with every card beneath it. The selected cards do not need to share a suit to travel together.
Only Kings fill empty space
The following details apply here. An empty column is therefore less flexible than an empty column in ordinary Spider. A group led by a lower rank cannot enter an empty column. An empty column accepts a King or a group led by a King. Cards beneath a moved King do not need to be in sequence.
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.
Use the stock once
A few details help explain this feature. This Scorpion version permits its stock deal when columns are empty. The stock contains one final deal of three cards. Dealing places a face-up card on each of the first three columns. There are no further stock cards after the three-card deal.
Complete a suit
A few details help explain this feature. A completed run must descend from King to Ace in one suit. The game removes a qualifying run automatically from the bottom of a column. Moving an unordered group does not make that group a completed sequence. All thirteen cards in a collected run must be face up.
Practice Scorpion decisions
The following details apply here. 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. Checking the whole moved group helps you anticipate what will become blocked.
