Re: Solitaire Games with Italian/Spanish cards?



> "Montana" or "Gaps" [or "Blue Moon" or "Spaces"] variations ...

Seems like I should have included a description:

Blue Moon solitaire:

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.
