Clock Patience, a classic solitaire card game for your phone or tablet. This is a very easy card game that only takes a couple of minutes to play, although we're sure you'll keep coming back for more since its quite addictive. There are lots of different color schemes to play with, different speed settings, you can give the cards an extra spin. We even include a fully automatic mode if you just want to site back and watch the game play itself. Twelve piles of cards are dealt out in the pattern of a clock face, the last 4 cards are placed in a pile in the centre of the circle. The aim of the game is to avoid the Kings. If you turn over all the other cards before finding the 4 kings then you win. Play starts by turning over the card in the central pile. When a card is revealed, it is placed on the pile at the corresponding hour and the top card of that pile is turned over. If a King is revealed, it is placed on the central pile. We highlight which card to turn over next and will help to put it on the right pile so you can't go wrong. Good Luck This free version is supported by non intrusive advertisements.
