Grandfather's Clock
For 1 Player - Level: Easy
Layout: Remove the following cards from the pack, and place them in a circle, as in the illustration below:
| 2 of Hearts | 8 of Diamonds |
| 3 of Spades | 9 of Clubs |
| 4 of Diamonds | Ten of Hearts |
| 5 of Clubs | Jack of Spades |
| 6 of Hearts | Queen of Diamonds |
| 7 of Spades | King of Clubs |
Place the remaining cards in eight columns of five cards each.
Overlap the cards so that you can see them all.
Play: Using the exposed cards in the layout, build the foundations - the cards on the clock face - up in suit until the cards on the top correspond to the numbers on a real clock face (with the Jack at 11 o'clock and the Queen at 12).
In order to free the cards to do this, build on the cards in the layout - downwards, regardless of suit.
Spaces may be filled by any available card.
To win the game: Get the clock to have the correctly numbered values on its face, as in the illustration below:
