Editing Baker's Game (section)

== Rules ==

(Adapted from [[FreeCell#Rules|the FreeCell's article Rules]].)

Construction and layout:
*One standard 52-card deck is used.
*There are four open [[Solitaire terminology#Game layout|cell]]s and four open [[Solitaire terminology#Foundation|foundation]]s.  (Some alternate rules use between one and ten cells.)
*The entire deck is dealt out left to right into eight [[Solitaire terminology#Deal|cascade]]s, four of which comprise seven cards and four of which comprise six.  (Some alternate rules will use between four and ten cascades.)

Building during play:
*The top card of each cascade begins a [[Solitaire terminology#Game layout|tableau]].
*Tableau must be [[Solitaire terminology#Building|built]] down by the same [[Solitaire terminology#suit|suit]].
*Foundations are built up by suit.

Moves:
*Any cell card or top card of any cascade may be moved to build on a tableau, or moved to an empty cell, an empty cascade, or its foundation (to make the game harder, only put kings on an empty cascade spot).
*Complete or partial tableaus may be moved to build on existing tableaus, or moved to empty cascades, by recursively placing and removing cards through intermediate locations.  While computer implementations often show this motion, players using physical decks typically move the tableau at once.

Victory:
*The game is won after all cards are moved in ascending number by suit to their foundation piles.

Variant: To make the game even more difficult, allow only kings to be placed on an empty tableau spot.
