Scorpion is played with a single pack of cards.The packs are shuffled together, and cards dealt in seven depots of seven cards each. The top three rows are 4 cards face down, then three cards face up, the remaining four rows are all face up The remaining three cards form the stock pile. Cards may be built in descending order of suit on the depots any face up card may be moved, provided that all cards below it in the pile are moved with it. When a depot is empty it may only be filled with a king (and any cards below it). The three cards from the stock should be dealt when the patience becomes stuck. The patience is won when all cards are built on the four kings.
