extends Solitaire

Grandfather's Clock:

This game requires a 1024x768 monitor

Foundations (12 piles: the "Clock". Complete these piles to win the game)

Base Cards
12: 9 clubs
1: 10 hearts
2: Jack spades
3: Queen diamonds
4: King clubs
5: 2 hearts
6: 3 spades
7: 4 diamonds
8: 5 clubs
9: 6 hearts
10: 7 spades
11: 8 diamonds

Build up in suit from the base card until the top card of each foundation shows the number corresponding to its position on a clock face (the "hour" in a clock in that position). For example, the 3 of spades at the bottom would build up to the 6 of spades (6 o'clock).

Jack equals 11 o'clock and Queen equals 12 o'clock.

Ranking of cards is continuous: build Aces after Kings when necessary.

All the piles will require 3 cards, except the Ten, Jack, Queen and King, which will require 4 cards each.

Tableau (8 columns of 5 cards each)

Randomly dealt from remaining cards.

Build down regardless of suit (for example, a 5 can be played on any 6).

The top card of each pile is available for play to another tableau pile or to the foundations.

Only one card at a time can be moved.

Spaces may be filled with any available card.
