Play down onto the same suit
The moved card must be immediately lower and of the same suit as the destination card.
Move a revealed group
In Scorpion, a revealed card can take all cards that follow it, even if they are out of sequence. Its leading card must be one rank lower and in the same suit as the destination.
Start an empty column with a King
An empty column accepts only a King, with the face-up cards that follow it.
Deal the reserve
The reserve holds three cards. The draw adds them to the first three columns, one card per column; this is not a new row of seven cards.
Complete from King to Ace
A fully ordered column from King to Ace in the same suit is moved to the foundations. Four complete sequences end the game.
