Baker's Game Solitaire

Baker’s Game is a variation of FreeCell Solitaire where tableaus are built down in the same suit rather than alternating colors like in classic FreeCell.

How to Play Baker’s Game

Rules

Baker’s Game rules are very similar to FreeCell with few differences (highlighted):

• Tableau piles are built down in the same suit (e.g., a 9♠ on a 10♠).
• One card or a sequence of cards in the correct order can be moved as a group.
• Any card can be placed on an empty tableau cell.
• You can temporarily move cards to free cells to unlock more cards. Each free cell can hold at most one card.
• Cards in the free cells can be moved to the foundation piles or back to the tableau piles.
• Foundations are built up in the same suit from Ace to King.

Objective

The objective of Baker’s Game is to move all cards to the four foundation piles, building each pile up in suit from Ace to King.

Setup

Baker’s Game setup is identical to FreeCell Solitaire setup:

• All cards are dealt face up into 8 tableau piles. The first four piles each get 7 cards, and the last four piles each get 6 cards.
• There are 4 free cells located at the top left of the screen. These cells can hold one card each and are used for temporarily storing cards.
• There are 4 foundation cells located at the top right of the screen. The goal is to build these foundations up in suit from Ace to King.

Variations

There are multiple versions of classic FreeCell with slightly different rules and setups:

• FreeCell Two Decks - double the cards, foundations and free cells.
• Eight Off - has four additional free cells.
• Baker’s Game - tableaus are built down in the same suit.
• Seahaven Towers - more tableaus and free cells are dealt 2 cards in the beginning.
