How To Play
Initial Deal:
All of the cards are dealt into 13 piles, each consisting of 4 cards. Twelve of the piles are arranged in the pattern of a clock, with the thirteenth pile in the middle.

Basic Play:
The top card of the middle pile is turned up to start the game. To play this card, it must be placed on the pile that represents its value on the clock face. Thus, if it was a 12, it would be placed at the "12" position (Kings are played on the middle pile). Once a card is played on its correct pile, the top card of that pile is turned over. Play continues by placing this new card on its proper pile.

Winning:
The game ends when either all 52 cards have been correctly placed, or all four Kings have been played (thus bringing the game to a stand still). If all 52 cards were correctly placed, the game will continue to a new round with your score and time carrying over.

Scoring:
1 point for a correct placement. -5 points for an incorrect placement.

Variations:
Levels 2 and 3 make the game more challenging by "rotating" the "12" position on the clock. The "12" position is rotated at the beginning of a new game in Level 2, and at random times during play in Level 3. A "12" marker indicates where the current "12" position is at.

Settings Help

• Difficulty Level:
  
  • 1: Cards piles are arranged in a "normal" clock face. 12 is at the very top. The rest of the values (1,2,3...) proceed from there clockwise.
  • 2: At the beginning of each game, the clock face is randomly "rotated" clockwise by some amount. A 12 marker indicates the position of 12, and the rest of the values (1,2,3,...) proceed from there clockwise.
  • 3: At random time intervals during the game, the clock face is "rotated" clockwise by some amount. A 12 marker indicates the position of 12, and the rest of the values (1,2,3,...) proceed from there clockwise.
  • P: Practive Level. Similar to Level 2, but the round is not timed and points are not kept. The 12 position is randomly chosen and the 3, 6, 9 positions are labeled. Best scores and statistics are not kept for this level.

• Practice Offset:
  This sets the "offset" from the normal "12" poisition (ie. "0" offest is a normal clock setting). This setting is only used for the Practice Round. Each new Practice game will use this setting until changed.

• Background Color:
  The background color.

• Default Color:
  Sets the Background to a known color.
