+.TH BLUE 6 "Nov 31 1994"
+.SH NAME
+blue \- Blue Moon
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+blue
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+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).
+.P
+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.       
+.P
+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.
