How to play Muse Solitaire

Layout:

4 foundation piles: Build up from Ace to King in the same suit.

9 tableau piles: Alternate color construction. Move groupings of cards if they are in alternate color order and there are enough open cells for the cards to be moved separately. Any available card may be used to fill any open space. To begin the game, one card is dealt face-up to the first pile, two cards to the second pile, and so on.

7 cells: Each cell holds one card. The card can be played on the foundations or the tableau. At the start of the game, each pile is dealt one card.

Foundation:

There are four foundation piles.

Any ace in the foundation may be transferred to any vacant pile.

A card can be added to a foundation pile only if it's one rank higher and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a Q of spades is a K of spades.

The top card of each foundation can be moved back into play if another pile will accept it.

Cells:

Seven cells, each containing one card at first

One card can be stored in each cell. Any available card can be played into any available cell. Cell cards can be played back to the tableau or the foundation.

Tableau:

There are nine tableau piles, with one card in the first pile, two cards in the second, three cards in the third, and so on. Every card is dealt face-up.

A card can be added to a tableau pile only if it's one rank lower and the opposite color of the pile's current top card, so the only cards that fit on a 4 of hearts are the 3 of spades and 3 of clubs.

Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card can be played onto the foundation, an empty cell, or any other tableau pile.

Any card can fill an empty slot in the tableau.

If the cards are alternately red and black, groups of cards in succession from high to low can be shifted from one tableau column to another.
