Clock by Color

In this patience, the cards of a chosen suit form a clock. Cards of equal value may be placed in alternating color.

# Layout

At the beginning, a suit is determined in which the foundations are to be arranged according to the numbers on a clock. There is no direct layout. The clock will form during the game.

# Objective

At the end of the patience, there must be four cards each on each number position of the clock and in the center.

# Gameplay

You draw cards one after another from the stock and first check whether they have the desired suit, for example . If this is the case, the card is placed at the corresponding number position of a clock. An Ace goes to the 1 o’clock position, a Jack to 11 o’clock and a Queen to 12 o’clock. A King goes in the center.

If cards with the same value appear during the game, they can be placed in alternating color on the foundations. The stock may be gone through twice.

# Variation

This patience can also be played with 104 cards according to the same principle. Then at the end there are eight instead of four cards per number.
