The first three rows have the top four cards placed face-down, all other cards are placed face-up. 49 cards are used to form seven overlapping columns. The layout of Scorpion and the method of gameplay are very similar to Yukon Solitaire. Sounds straight forward, right? It isn't! The object of Scorpion Solitaire is to successfully arrange cards in four columns, each in descending order (from King to Ace) and in their correct suit. Obviously, after hours of game play that test becomes easier and eventually gamers' crave a new challenge - enter Scorpion.
Over the years, Spider Solitaire has grown to become as popular as the original Klondike format of solitaire, presenting a different test to players. One of the many spin-offs of the original format of solitaire, Scorpion takes the best elements of Spider and Yukon Solitaire, making it one of the toughest versions of the game there is. If you like your solitaire with a bit of bite - or in this case sting - you will love the challenge of Scorpion Solitaire.
