Smart Clock Solitaire is a fun type of solitaire made even better! You can choose to play an easy or more challenging game by choosing the mode you want to play: Lucky or Smart. Lucky mode is the traditional clock solitaire. You just keep moving the cards in the order they are opened and hope you will be able to open all piles of cards before the 4 kings appear. Very easy to play but success rate is very low. Smart mode is a new type of clock solitaire. It depends on your ability to choose the best cards and remember the ones that you already saw. Instead of one card the two topmost cards are open and you can choose which one you want to move. If you don’t win the game the first time around you can keep replaying the same game. More challenging to play but success rate is very high. Statistics for the mode are shown at the end of each game. A special feature allows the player to see the topmost cards at the two possible destiny piles when he is playing in the Smart mode.
