Miss Muffet

Top  Previous  Next

1 Deck.  Hard (4%).  Mostly Skill.

 

Object

To group all the cards into 4 sets of 13 cards in sequence down in suit from King to Ace within the tableau.

 

Layout

10 tableau piles - build down in suit, or in the same rank.  Groups of cards in sequence down in suit (or of the same rank) may be moved as a unit (groups moved as a unit cannot contain both cards descending in sequence and multiple cards of the same rank at the same time).  Spaces are filled by a King or a legal group of cards headed with a King.  At the start of the game 5 cards are dealt to each pile, except for the first and last piles which are dealt 6.

 

Notes

The tableau piles are built down in suit, or in the same rank. That is, if the exposed card of a pile is the 7 , the 6 or another 7 (such as the 7 ) may be played on it.

 

History
