How to play Grandfather’s Clock Solitaire
- 1Twelve cards start out as a clock face, one at each hour: 2♥ at five o’clock, 3♠ at six, 4♦ at seven, 5♣ at eight, and on round the dial to K♣ at four o’clock. The other 40 cards are dealt face up into eight rows of five.
- 2Each hour builds up in its own suit, one card at a time, going from King to Ace when it gets there. It stops once its top card matches its hour: a Jack at eleven, a Queen at twelve, an Ace at one o’clock. Fill every hour to win.
- 3Only the last card in each row can move: onto the clock, onto the end of another row if it’s one lower (any suit, a 6 on a 7, but nothing on an Ace), or into an empty row.
- 4Every card has exactly one place on the clock, so the trick is digging out the next card each hour needs. Empty rows help most.
- 5Pick a card, then tap where it should go, or drag it there. Tap a card that fits the clock to send it straight there. If no card can move, the deal is over.
