Scorpion

Columns that lift any face-up group, in order or not, and a stock of three cards that deals once, onto the first three columns. Written as a design file, this is the whole game. Make a game explains every part of it.

  "description": "**Goal:** build all four foundations up from Ace to King, each in a single suit.\n\n- Tableau columns build **down in the same suit**.\n- Any **face-up** card can be picked up together with everything on top of it, **regardless of order** — only the bottom card of the group has to fit the target. That is how you dig out a buried card.\n- Uncovering a face-down card flips it. An empty column takes a **King**, or a group headed by one.\n- Three cards are held back: **tap the stock** once when you are stuck to deal them onto the first three columns.",
