Thirteen piles of four face-down cards: twelve round the clock, one in the centre.

Turn the top card of the centre pile and place it face up at its hour: Ace at one o'clock up to Queen at twelve, Kings in the centre.

Then turn the top card of the pile you just placed it on, and carry on.

The game ends when the fourth King comes out. You win if every card is face up by then.

Levels 1 and 2 give second chances: tuck the fourth King under a pile that still has cards and keep going.

How to play

Goal. Turn every card face up before the fourth King comes out.

Setup

Thirteen piles of four face-down cards: twelve round a clock face for the hours Ace to Queen, one in the centre for the Kings.

Playing

Turn the top card of the centre pile and lay it face up at its hour: an Ace at one o'clock, a Jack at eleven, a Queen at twelve, a King in the centre.
Turn the top card of the pile it just went to, and keep going. There are no decisions: the deal decides the game.
Auto-play turns the cards for you on a steady beat.

End of the game

The game ends when the fourth King appears. You win if no face-down card remains.
On Levels 1 and 2 you get second chances: tuck the fourth King under a pile that still has cards and turn from there. Level 3 is the classic game of pure luck.
