Dear friends!

Here is a new version of «Scorpion Solitaire» in which all hands are matching!

Rules

To solve the patience, a player has to sort out the cards of three pyramids by putting them to the foundation in the lower right corner according to the following rules:

• An exposed card is followed by a card of the same suit but lower in seniority;
• King may be played into free cell;
• You may shift a sequence of exposed cards irrespective of their amount and order.

Upper button panel

Undo, redo (including left arrow key and right arrow key on the keyboard) allow you to move forward or backward at your discretion, up until the beginning of game.

New game — starts a new game. By pressing «New game» button repeatedly you can browse the games and select the hand you prefer. By using up arrow and down arrow keys you can move through the offered layouts. Only the hands you started to play will enter your game history (i.d. you made at least one move). You may return to the previous layout by pressing a part of the button marked with.<.

Start anew — begin a new take.

Possible moves — highlights the cards which may be moved in yellow. This does not mean that the move is obligatory; it is for you to decide. The right way would be not to make all the moves randomly, but to use a certain strategy. You can skip this mode by pressing the «possible moves» button once again.

Playing board info

A list of your attempts is indicated above, with an option to return to any one of them. The large number indicates the number of your current take. Red colored number indicates the number of hands which you have solved. To go to another attempt, press on the relevant number. When returning to unsolved hands you shall see the previous positioning of the cards. When you go to solved hands, you will be able to see how you had made your moves by scrolling «redo» and «undo» buttons.

You shall find hand info below the attempts list:

• Hand number (999);
• Hand rating (rating 1:38) — average time spent by all players to solve this hand, the number of players who solved the hand out of the number of the players who attempted to solve it;
• Amount of moves in the current attempt (moves 51);
• Current time of the latest attempt (time 2:41). If you haven’t made a single move during 15 seconds (e.g. you got distracted from the game), time freezes. The frozen time is highlighted in blue. Any move made afterwards resumes the time count;
• Total time spent on all attempts (total time 4:30).

Green dot means you have Internet connection, red dot means you are disconnected. You can still finish the hand while disconnected, but it will not be saved in your history, and you will not participate in the rating unless the connection restores while you are playing.

Lower button panel

By opening Settings you will be able to:

• Set an order of new hands: «play in random order» — by pressing the «new game» button a random-numbered hand will load up; by choosing «play in succession» mode numerically successive hand will load up;
• Set the mode «only unsolved hands played by me», whereby hands in numeric succession or random hands will appear;
• You may go to a certain hand by entering hand number in the «enter hand number» bar.

All hands — a list of all hands of the game with an option to view the statistics on each of them and to sort under several parameters.
