How to Play

1

The 10-Column Deal

Fifty-four cards are dealt into ten columns. Similar to Spider, some cards are face-up and some are face-down. The remaining 50 cards form the stock.

2

Build by Rank

Move any face-up card onto another that is one rank higher (e.g., any 9 onto any 10), regardless of suit. However, suit matters for sequence movement!

3

Sequence Movement

You can only move a group of cards if they are in a perfect descending sequence of the same suit. Non-matching stacks can be broken, but they cannot be moved together.

4

Clear the Suits

When you complete a sequence from King down to Ace in the same suit, it is removed from the board. Clear all 8 sequences to win the game.

Is it possible to lose?
Absolutely. Scarab is known for its high difficulty. Success depends on the stock deal and your ability to keep columns open for maneuverability.
