Clock Solitaire is a quick, calming solitaire card game built for anyone who wants a simple way to relax, focus, and let their mind settle. Also known as Clock Patience, this classic patience game turns a standard 52-card deck into a clock face: move each card to its hour, reveal the next card, and see if you can clear the full clock before the kings stop the run. Every game is fast, easy to learn, and satisfying to replay. There are no complicated rules or endless menus, just cards, rhythm, and a little suspense. It is perfect for a short break, a quiet commute, a bedtime wind-down, or any moment when you want a clean card game that helps you get into a gentle flow. How to play: - Cards are dealt into 13 piles: 12 around the clock and one in the center. - Start from the center pile and move each face-up card to the pile that matches its rank. - Aces go to 1, Jacks to 11, Queens to 12, and Kings return to the center. - Reveal cards, follow the clock, and try to clear all 52 cards before all four kings appear. Why players come back: - Classic clock solitaire and clock patience rules - Quick games that fit into real life - Relaxing, low-pressure card play - Smooth touch controls and clear card movement - Progress, scoring, streaks, and perfect-run moments - 81 card backs to collect over time, including animated designs - An optional rewarded-ad king dissolve for a second chance to keep playing - Clean table visuals designed for focus - A simple solitaire experience for calm, casual play Clock Solitaire is not about memorizing complex strategies. It is about the tiny ritual of the next card, the next hour, and the next run. If you enjoy solitaire, patience, classic card games, casual games, brain games, luck games, puzzle games, or relaxing games that are easy to pick up and put down, this is a simple daily card game to keep on your phone or iPad. Take a breath, follow the clock, and see if this shuffle is the one.
