Objective

Move all 52 cards to the foundations by suit, Ace through King.

The game

Foundations
  • 4 piles building up by suit
Tableau
  • 13 columns of 4 cards each (all face-up)
  • Build down regardless of suit or color
  • Move only one card at a time
  • Empty columns stay empty - they cannot be refilled
  • Kings automatically sink to column bottoms at start

Why "Baker's Dozen"?

The 13 columns reference the traditional "baker's dozen" - the practice of adding an extra item when selling twelve.

Strategy

  • Kings at the bottom can't be moved until their suit's foundation is complete
  • Focus on exposing and playing Aces early
  • Avoid emptying columns unnecessarily - they're gone forever
  • Keep foundation progress balanced across suits

About the game

With an 85% win rate and pure skill (no hidden cards), Baker's Dozen rewards careful planning over luck.
