Clock Solitaire: When a King Comes

Video Transcript

"In the last segment we got to the point of a King being played in the solitaire game of Clock. What now? Well, when a King comes out you could say all play stops. What it really means is that the sequence stops because there's nowhere on the clock face to play a King so you have to play it in the middle. The object of the game is to empty all of the other piles on the tableau before the pile in the middle is empty. And when you get a King, you have to put it in the middle and pull one off the top of the King spot on the tableau. So, let's makes sure we know how it goes. I'm going to play until I get a King. Here's a seven, and a two goes up here, and a seven, and a two, that's weird. There's a Jack and an Ace goes over in the one spot, and an Ace, so I put it right back down here. And a Jack, and an eight. Isn't ran in the greats? And a Queen, and a three, and an eight, and a Jack, and an eight, and a nine. I wonder if I can actually win this game in a demonstration. I think not. There's a King I have to put in here and then draw here, so I'm running out of chances to go ahead and win this round of Clock."
