CLOCK SOLITARE
Clock solitaire is easy to learn, but almost impossible to beat.
If you're in for a challenge, this is the solo card game for you.
The Set-Up:
⏬
1) Shuffle and deal the cards face down into 13 piles, with
four cards in every pile.
2) Place 12 piles into a circle and the 13th pile in the middle. (These piles should end up resembling a clock.)
3) Once you've done this, you can turn the top card on the center pile of the circle face-up.
4) It's important to understand that all of the cards have a specific place that they're meant to end up. These places are:
- Aces = 1 o'clock
- 2's = 2 o'clock
- 3's = 3 o'clock
- 4's = 4 o'clock
- 5's = 5 o'clock
- 6's = 6 o'clock
- 7's = 7 o'clock
- 8's = 8 o'clock
- 9's = 9 o'clock
- 10's = 10 o'clock
- Jacks = 11 o'clock
- Queens = 12 o'clock
- Kings = the center pile
5) To begin playing, take the
face-up card in the middle pile and put that card face up underneath the pile
on the clock where that card's number is supposed to be.
6) Then turn the card on the top of that pile face-up and put it face-up under its appropriate pile. (For example, if your card is in the 1 o'clock space is a 9, then you'll place that card face-up underneath the 9 o'clock pile.)
7) If all 12 piles become four-of-a-kind before the fourth King turns up, then you win the game.
