- CLOCK SOLITAIRE
-
- Clock Solitaire is played by dealing the entire deck of 52 cards
- in packs of four cards which are then arranged in the order of a
- clock. Twelve packs form a circle for each hour and a
- thirteenth pack lies in the center of the clock layout. The
- top card of the center pack is then turned face up. The
- object of this solitaire game is to move the last turned up
- card to its respective pack or hour position on the clock dial.
- Each card moves to the pile of its own number, jack counts as
- 11, queen counts as 12, and the king is 13. The king is always
- placed in the center of the clock layout. The card is then
- placed face up on the bottom of the pack it was moved to. The
- top card of that pack is then also turned face up. This card
- becomes the next card to be moved to its respective hour
- on the clock dial. Play continues until all the packs
- are exposed and contain four of kind in each hour of the layout
- in which case you have beaten Clock Solitaire. If all four
- kings have been exposed in the center of the clock, the game
- is over and you lose.
-
-
- STARTING CLOCK SOLITAIRE
-
- From your DOS prompt, type CLOCK and press the ENTER key. In
- order for Clock to run, you must be logged onto the
- directory where CLOCK.EXE, CLOCK01.INF, and CLOCK02.INF reside.
