Scorpion on SolitaireHot blends Yukon-style stack freedom with Spider-like same-suit goals. You build down in suit and clear completed King-to-Ace runs — but empty columns only accept Kings. That single rule creates sharp mid-game tension.
Core Scorpion rules
Cards build down in the same suit. You can move stacks more freely than in Klondike, similar to Yukon. When a complete suit sequence from King to Ace is assembled, it can be removed. Stock deals remaining cards in batches — check SolitaireHot’s on-page how-to for the exact deal pattern.
Opening and mid-game priorities
Early on, expose buried cards and create at least one King-ready empty column. Mixed-suit clutter is expensive because finished runs must be pure. Hint highlights legal moves; Undo helps you compare filling an empty column now versus holding it for a King.
Scorpion tips that raise win feel
- Do not park a non-King in an empty column unless it immediately frees a better King path.
- Prefer same-suit connections over convenient off-suit parking.
- After a stock deal, reassess which columns can still become clean runs.
- If the board bricks, restart — some deals punish early empty-column mistakes.
