# Baker's Game

FreeCell type. 1 deck. No redeal.

### Object

Move all cards to the foundations.

### Quick Description

Like FreeCell, but the piles build down by suit.

### Rules

All cards are dealt at the start of the game. To compensate for this there are 4 free cells which can hold any - and just one - card.

Cards may only be moved onto cards of the same suit.

The number of cards you can move as a sequence is restricted by the number of free cells - the number of free cells required is the same as if you would make an equivalent sequence of moves with single cards. (As a shortcut, the computer also considers the number of free piles so that you can move even more cards as one single sequence.)

### History

Baker's Game is named after the mathematician C.L. Baker and was first published in Martin Gardner's June 1968 Mathematical Games column in Scientific American.
