Special Column

The rightmost Column is special in that it is the only Column whereby cards can be moved into it singly if the Column is empty.

Stock

Each time the Stock is clicked, one card is dealt to each Column.

Game Notes

Double Baroness is similar to Pyramid, but yet is far easier to solve. It also offers more opportunity for skillful play. The Double deck version of Baroness is a little easier than Single Deck Baroness.
