Rules, controls and help for Scorpion Solitaire

Work at your own pace. Complete four same-suit king-to-ace runs. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. 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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.

Seven columns; three stock cards dealt once to the first three columns. Free solo play, no wagering.
