Enter the Scorpion's lair and try not to get stung in this set of three Scorpion Solitaire variants! CLASSIC SCORPION (Expert) The classic 7-stack game with 4 hidden sets and three face-down spare cards to deal from the tail. Re-arrange the cards to build all four suits from King to Ace to win the round. You can pick up a pile of face-up cards from anywhere in the numbered stacks regardless of their suit and order, but can only drop them on a card of the same suit and one higher value than the bottom-most card. You can only place Kings on empty spaces! Click the scorpion's tail to deal the last cards when you get stuck - it won't sting you, but this game might! WASP (Regular) Very similar to Scorpion, this easier variant lets you place any card on an empty space, not just a King. Trust us, it makes a big, big difference and might just help you avoid the scorpion's claws! THREE BLIND MICE (Casual) An easier more relaxing variant where you have 10 stacks, 3 hidden sets and two face-up spare cards to use whenever you like! Challenge your friends to beat your high-scores, or just keep them to yourself and use the extensive statistics to keep track of your best games of Scorpion Solitaire. With clear and simple graphics, customisable cards, a full tutorial for absolute beginners we hope you will agree that this is the best version of this popular card game to be found. • 3 Difficulty levels to suit beginners to experts • Full tutorial to introduce you to the game gently • Regular or reversed card layouts for left or right handed play! • Customise the look of your cards, even how scruffy the dealing is! • Extensive statistics to track your improving skills • Simple & intuitive user interface, designed for young and old • Share your scores with your friends with Game Center leaderboards • Can you earn all the achievements?
