How to Play Double Scorpion Solitaire
Double Scorpion Solitaire is the two-deck Scorpion variant. You build eight same-suit runs from King to Ace across ten tableau columns, making planning and space control even more important. See the Double Scorpion win rate for realistic expectations.
Objective
Create eight complete suited runs in the tableau. Every run must descend from King to Ace in the same suit to win Double Scorpion Solitaire.
Double Scorpion Rules
Double Scorpion follows classic Scorpion movement rules, but the extra deck increases sequencing complexity and requires stronger long-term planning.
- Build tableau columns down by suit only.
- Move any face-up card with all cards stacked above it.
- Only Kings or King-led packets can fill empty columns.
- Use reserve cards carefully when no productive move remains.
- Win by assembling eight full same-suit K→A sequences in tableau.
Double Scorpion Strategy
- Plan three to five moves ahead before consuming an empty King column.
- Consolidate long same-suit packets to reduce blocked card clusters.
- Avoid dealing reserve cards too early if face-down cards are still trapped.
- Use temporary King parking only when it reveals new face-down cards.
- Track suit duplication across two decks to prevent dead-end merges.
