The goal

Turn every card face up, sending each one home round the clock, before the fourth King turns up.

The clock

The 52 cards are dealt face down into 13 piles of four.
Twelve piles sit round a clock face, one per hour: Ace at 1 o’clock, 2 at 2 o’clock … Jack at 11 and Queen at 12. The Kings’ pile is in the middle.

Playing

Tap the middle pile to turn its top card.
Tap the turned card (or drag it) to send it home: it tucks face up under the pile for its rank. The clock hand and a glowing outline show where it goes.
Then the top face-down card of that pile turns up, and so on. Every move is forced, so there are no wrong choices.
Auto play plays the cards for you; tap it again to pause.
On a keyboard: Space or Enter plays the next card and A toggles auto play.

Winning

The game ends when the fourth King turns up, because the Kings’ pile has nothing left to turn.
If every other card is already face up, you win. Otherwise the deal is lost.
It’s all down to the shuffle: about one deal in thirteen comes out. Your win rate and best time are kept.
