Scorpion Solitaire Guide
Learn Scorpion Solitaire rules, tableau strategy, suit sequencing, and how Scorpion differs from Klondike.
Same-Suit Building
Scorpion requires descending suit sequences instead of alternating-color stacks.
Advanced Difficulty
The rules are simple to state but hard to solve cleanly.
Tableau Finish
Completed King-to-Ace runs are formed in the tableau itself.
A few things you might be wondering
Is Scorpion Solitaire difficult?
Yes. Scorpion is usually considered harder than Klondike because same-suit sequences are restrictive and bad moves can block suits.
Is Scorpion like Spider Solitaire?
They both care about full suit sequences, but Scorpion uses one deck and has its own tableau movement rules.
What is the goal of Scorpion Solitaire?
Complete four descending suit sequences from King to Ace in the tableau.
What if I make a mistake?
Use Undo when it is available to take back a move. Check the current mode’s rules for any effect on scoring or eligibility. Starting or restarting a game may replace your current progress.
