Scorpion
A spider-style tableau — build down in suit and untangle every King-to-Ace run.
How to play Scorpion
Fifty-two cards are dealt into seven columns — the first four begin with three hidden cards, and the last three are fully face-up. Tap any face-up card to pick it up together with every card resting on top of it, then tap a destination column: the card you grabbed must land on a face-up card of the SAME suit and exactly one rank higher. An empty column accepts a King (with whatever pile it carries). When you are stuck, tap the stock pile to deal its three cards onto the bottoms of the first three columns. Uncovering a face-down card flips it up automatically. Win by forming all four suits into full King-to-Ace runs.

Scorpion — frequently asked questions
How is Scorpion different from Spider solitaire?
Both build down by suit, but in Scorpion you may pick up any face-up card along with everything piled on top of it — even a jumbled group — and there is just a single three-card stock deal instead of full rows.
What goes on an empty column?
Only a King, either alone or as the top of a pile you are carrying. Freeing a column and parking a King there is a key way to dig buried cards loose.
How is the score calculated and can every deal be won?
Your score counts the cards resting in correct same-suit descending order, and reaching four complete King-to-Ace runs wins with a perfect score. As with all solitaire, not every random deal is winnable; your best score is saved.
