BLUEMOON(6) Games BLUEMOON(6)NAMEbluemoon - Blue Moon card solitaire
SYNOPSISbluemoonDESCRIPTION
This 52-card solitaire starts with the entire deck shuffled and dealt
out in four rows. The aces are then moved to the left end of the
layout, making 4 initial free spaces. You may move to a space only the
card that matches the left neighbor in suit, and is one greater in
rank. Kings are high, so no cards may be placed to their right (they
create dead spaces).
When no moves can be made, cards still out of sequence are reshuffled
and dealt face up after the ends of the partial sequences, leaving a
card space after each sequence, so that each row looks like a partial
sequence followed by a space, followed by enough cards to make a row of
14.
A moment's reflection will show that this game cannot take more than 13
deals. A good score is 1-3 deals, 4-7 is average, 8 or more is poor.
