What makes Baker's Dozen unique
Every card is visible from the beginning, but the game offers no stock, no waste, and no way to refill empty columns. That makes planning and order-of-operations the entire puzzle.
Rules overview
Build top cards onto ranks exactly one higher regardless of suit, send Aces upward to the foundations, and work toward full suit foundations from Ace through King.
Strategy tips
- Since empty columns never come back, every move should improve access to future top cards.
- Aces and low cards are especially valuable early because they unlock foundation progress and free space above them.
- Plan across several columns at once rather than solving only the next visible move.
