Take on the role of an aspiring artist, and seek the inspiration you need from the nine mythical Muses to create a work of art that is moving, important or lucrative (delete as preferred).
About the game
Muses is a quick and simple solitaire dice and card game. There’s no setup required and you can play through a full game in under five minutes. There is a significant element of luck in the game but you must make the right tactical choices to capitalise on your good fortune.
I don’t play solitaire games very often, but sometimes you only have a few spare minutes and would really like to scratch the gaming itch with the tactility of a physical game, rather than an electronic one.
I’d played a couple of solo games but usually found that the level of setup and administration required was not equal to the amount of enjoyment the game provided. So I set out to create a game with interesting choices for the solo player but with limited components and no setup: a game that you could just take out of your pocket and play on the train.
