Grandfather's Clock solitaire rules (1 deck of cards)<< Grandfather | Grandmamma's >>

Goal: Build the 12 'clock' piles up in the same suit. Aces play onto kings. A pile ends when it reaches the value for its position on the clock.

Build the 8 piles of the layout down in any suit. Kings play onto aces. Empty piles can be filled with any card.

You can only move one card at a time. Each empty pile doubles the number of cards you can move, since multiple moves would allow it.

Tarbart allows an empty space to filled one time only, as a grace move. George A. Bonaventure and Helen L. Coops don't fill empty spaces at all.
