- Blue Moon solitaire is a 52-card solitaire that 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.
