Just like Baker's Game, but only Kings on empty spaces.

How to play

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.

Piles build down by suit, and you can only move Kings to empty slots.

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.
