Hi Gregg, there are differences in Interchange between PGSME (101) and PGS. In PGSME you can put cards back from the foundation piles in PGS you can't. What's right?

The official rule of thumb is that this (worrying back) is allowed unless the rules explicitly state otherwise, so this difference appears in more games than just Interchange.

The unofficial guideline is that once it is allowed in a climb mode game, it is more difficult to change. Thomas has the final word on all game rule issues, though.

So... Pretty Good Solitaire Mac Edition is right (for PGSME :-)).

Playing Baker's Dozen #10 i was wondering about the Kings at the start. Is this allowed or a bug?

Are two Kings allowed in one pile or is it a bug?

It seems to be allowed. In #12 the same.

It would depend on how we define "bottom" Markus. The kings ARE at the bottom inasmuch as other cards have been built on top of them. I think this must be what was meant in the rules.

That means, that 4 kings are allowed in one pile, because they are at the bottom.

Just to confirm...

Yes, two Kings (or more) are allowed in one pile. They are (collectively) moved to the bottom of the pile, per the rules.
