Grandfathers Clock Solitaire
Grandfather's Clock Solitaire arranges 12 foundation piles in a clock-face pattern, with specific starting cards pre-placed on each position (2 at 2 o'clock, 3 at 3 o'clock, up to King at the center). The remaining cards form eight tableau columns. Build foundations in suit, wrapping as needed, so each clock position finishes on its hour. Build tableau columns by rank regardless of suit.
Grandfathers Clock Tips
Each clock position has a unique target: the final card must match the hour (Ace at 1, 2 at 2, etc.). Plan your foundation building to reach these targets. Tableau building ignores suit, giving you maximum flexibility for rearrangement. Empty columns are powerful — use them as temporary storage.

How does the clock scoring work?
Each of the 12 clock positions builds in suit from its starting card until the hour number is reached. For example, the 3 o'clock position starts with a 3 and builds up in suit until it reaches 3 again (full cycle). The game is won when all 12 positions display their correct hour.
