Scorpion is one of the most popular Spider type solitaire games in Pretty Good Solitaire. Here are 5 of the most interesting Scorpion variations:
1) Scorpion II
Scorpion II is just like Scorpion except that only 9 cards are face down instead of 12. This makes the game a little bit easier as you can see more cards and don't have to uncover as many.
2) Double Scorpion
Double Scorpion is a two deck version of Scorpion. It plays about the same except there are more cards. This adds complications and you have to put more cards in order, but on the other hand there are two of every card.

3) Three Blind Mice
Three Blind Mice stretches the tableau out from seven piles to ten. With fewer cards in each pile and more piles, Three Blind Mice should be an easier game than Scorpion, but in practice it isn't.

4) Scorpion Head
Scorpion Head adds elements of FreeCell to Scorpion. It adds 4 cells to the game, which definitely makes the game easier to win.
5) Applegate
Applegate takes the opening tableau of Scorpion and lays out the extra 3 cards individually. This makes it a bit similar to Scorpion Head, but these are not cells - once you move the three extra cards, they cannot be replaced. The opening layout is also a bit different, but with the same number of covered cards as regular Scorpion.
