Meet Scorpion
Here are the details for this mode. Scorpion on cn-yspxw.com uses one 52-card deck with four suits. Moves build down in the same suit rather than allowing cross-suit destinations. The tableau has seven columns. Four complete King-to-Ace runs clear the game.
Read the opening cards
Keep these points in mind. All cards in the last three columns are face up. Each opening column contains seven cards for a total of 49 tableau cards. Three cards remain in the stock. The first three cards in each of the first four columns are face down.
Build in the same suit
A King cannot land on another card because no higher rank exists. A seven of hearts can land on an exposed eight of hearts. A seven of hearts cannot land on an eight of spades. A moved group's leading card must land on a card exactly one rank higher in the same suit.
Move exposed groups
The following details apply here. The selected cards do not need to share a suit 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 descend in rank to travel together.
Only Kings fill empty space
Keep these points in mind. 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. An empty column is therefore less flexible than an empty column in ordinary Spider.
Uncover another choice
A few details help explain this feature. The next hidden card is revealed automatically. Removing all face-up cards above a hidden card turns that hidden card face up. Undo restores the earlier hidden-card arrangement when the move is reversed. An exposed card can carry the cards beneath it when its own destination is legal.
Use the stock once
There are no further stock cards after the three-card deal. The stock contains one final deal of three cards. This Scorpion version permits its stock deal when columns are empty. Dealing places a face-up card on each of the first three columns.
Collect ordered runs
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. All thirteen cards in a collected run must be face up. Moving an unordered group does not make that group a completed sequence.
Practice Scorpion decisions
Keep these points in mind. A move can carry unwanted cards along with a useful leading card. Replay and Undo let you explore another approach to the same layout. Checking the whole moved group helps you anticipate what will become blocked. Hint lists legal choices without promising a winning continuation.
