Clock Solitaire Rules
Clock Solitaire is one of the simplest types of Solitaire there is.
For a Yahtzee we must be successful with all 3 dice which occurs with probability (11/36) 3 = 0.0285. There are 6^2 = 36 possible outcomes when we re-roll the 1 and the 4. We first calculate the number of different outcomes that result in a particular hand and use this to determine the probability of each hand. This dice game got various name over the years and continents: yatzy, yacht and so on, but what does not change is that it is very simple, fast to learn and fun to play! Keep your brain active and sharp, analyze all the possibilities and try to get the best score to win over your friend or your op.
The cards are divided among 13 piles, which are then arranged as if they were the numbers of the clock, with the thirteenth pile, the King pile, in the middle.
The objective is to place a card into its corresponding clock number position, e.g. the card 3 goes into the 3 o'clock pile, Ace into the 1 o'clock pile, Jack into the 11 o'clock pile, Queen into 12, and King into the center pile.
Solitaire
When all of the cards are face up and in their correct clock number pile then you've won the game, but if all four Kings are facing up before all of the other cards are in their correct pile you've lost.
Still, don't feel bad if you don't win, the odds of winning Clock Solitaire are 1/13, or 7.6%, making it even harder to win than Scorpion Solitaire, which used to be our hardest game!
