You have been subscribed to a public bug: I love AisleRiot Solitaire, and the absolute selection of solitaire games is staggering. However, AisleRiot states on the rules page for Baker's Game: "Empty spaces in the Tableau can only be filled with a King or a build starting with a King." I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. Baker's Game is challenging enough if any card may be played on an empty slot in the Tableau, but if only Kings may be put there, it's darn near impossible.
http://www.semicolon.com/Solitaire/Rules/BakersGame.html states that "Tableaus build down in suit. Top cards of tableaus are available for play on other tableaus, on foundations, or on the reserves. Any available card may be played to an empty tableau." and http://mypatience.net/Rules.aspx?gameId=38 says: "Tableau: Build down in suit. The top card of each pile can be moved to the foundations, reserves or to the tableau. Packed sequence of cards (cards that are sorted down in suit) may be moved to another tableau pile only if there is enough empty cells to move the cards one by one using cells and empty piles as a temporary storage for holding cards. Any card or packed sequence can be moved to an empty pile." As of now, I refuse to even attempt to play Baker's Game in AisleRiot, as it is impossible to win. Please change the written rules (and the code, obviously, to allow it to be played the real way) to reflect the actual rules! Thank you!
