Scorpion Solitaireplay the tableau card game online, free

Scorpion Solitaire is a single-player tableau card game played with one standard 52-card deck. Seven columns are dealt almost entirely face up, and the goal is to arrange all 52 cards into four King-to-Ace runs of a single suit, built directly in the tableau. There are no foundations to manually play to — a completed run collects itself.

Deal seven columns of seven cards, with the top three cards of the first four columns face down. Pick up any face-up card — even from the middle of a column — and move it, along with everything stacked on it, onto a card of the same suit one rank higher. Only a King can start an empty column. Once, deal the three reserve cards onto the first three columns when you need more options. Complete all four suits from King to Ace to win.

Yes — this is the rule that sets Scorpion apart from Klondike or Spider. You may grab any face-up card no matter how deep in a column, and every card stacked on top of it moves with it as one group, even if that group is not itself a valid same-suit run. The only requirement is that the card you actually clicked fits the destination: the same suit, one rank higher.

The reserve is three cards set aside at the deal. Once, whenever you choose, you can deal them face up onto the bottoms of the first three tableau columns — there is no second reserve. Because it permanently adds cards to those three columns, most players save it for when no other tableau move is available.

The moment a tableau column holds a complete run of thirteen cards, King down to Ace, all in one suit and all face up, it locks in automatically and clears out of the tableau. You do not drag it anywhere — the column simply empties and that suit is done.

Score is our own simple tally, since Scorpion has no traditional points table: five points per card you move, a fifteen-point bonus for revealing a face-down card, and two hundred points for each suit you complete. Time and move count are tracked separately so you can chase a fast win or a low-move win.

No. Some shuffles cannot be solved regardless of how well you play, and there is no reliable way to tell in advance. The deep-grab rule and the reserve make many more deals solvable than a stricter tableau game would allow, but a genuine dead end is still possible. If you get stuck, deal a new game.

Dig into the four columns with hidden cards early, and get comfortable grabbing from the middle of a column on purpose rather than only ever taking the top card. Track where each King is before you bury one, and hold the reserve back until you have genuinely run out of tableau moves. Undo is unlimited, so use it to test a risky grab before committing.

Your best score, best time, fewest moves, games played, and win streak are saved locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server and there is no account. Because the save lives on the device, a different phone, a new browser profile, or cleared site data looks like a fresh start. A game in progress is not saved if you close the tab.

Yes. The layout is built for touch: tap a card to pick it up and tap a column to drop it, or drag directly. The seven tableau columns and the reserve fit on one portrait screen, and dealing a new game is instant with no page reload.
