Clock Solitaire: The Object

Video Transcript

"The object of the solitaire variant Clock is to beat the Kings. Now, in a later segment I'm going to explain exactly what that means, but let's just go through a few plays in Clock and see if you can gather what I mean by the phrase "Beat the Kings". I'm just going to play these cards. Nine came, so I put a nine here. Three comes, three goes here. Queen goes to the twelve spot. Six goes down to the six spot. There's a deuce, goes over to the two o'clock spot. A ten goes over here. A six goes down here, of course. Ah! The tens and sixes like each other. There's a four. You see how this game works. There's another ten. And a nine. I'm beginning to think this deck doesn't have any Kings. Oh, yeah it does! We'll discuss in the next segment what you do with Kings."
