Except for the 12 hidden cards, 3 in each of the first 4 piles (or first 3 piles in Easy Scorpion Solitaire for a total of 9 hidden cards), all cards are face-up and visible. When the game starts, a pile of 7 cards is dealt into each of the 7 tableau columns. Scorpion Solitaire is played with a 52-card deck of standard playing cards. Scorpion Solitaire's goal is to build all 4 ordered suits from king down to ace in the tableau, each of which is automatically sent to a foundation as it's completed. However, the Easy Scorpion Solitaire variant is much easier.
The game has a fair bit of luck in it and is not very easy to beat. Scorpion Solitaire is similar to Spider Solitaire but played more like Yukon Solitaire.
