How to Play Daily Deal: Clock
Daily Deal: Clock blends traditional Clock solitaire placement with unique strategic move choices:
- Daily Seed: Everyone plays the exact same card layout each day for fair competition.
- Clock Layout: 12 piles correspond to clock hours (1 through 12, with Jacks as 11 and Queens as 12), surrounding a 13th central pile for Kings.
- Matching Numbers: Place drawn cards under the pile corresponding to their rank (e.g., 5s go to the 5 o'clock position, Queens to 12 o'clock).
- Banish Kings: If you suspect a face-down card is a King, banish it to another pile to delay drawing it—though the next card drawn must be played face-up.
- Game Over & Victory: Revealing all four Kings ends the game immediately. Uncover all face-down cards across the clock before the fourth King is placed in the center to win!
Controls & Features
- Card Placement: Tap or drag cards directly to their matching hour position on the clock layout.
- Banish Action: Select and move an unrevealed card to an alternate pile to bypass a potential King draw.
- Undo Button: Reverse recent choices to optimize your sequence and keep move totals low.
- Move Counter: Track your total actions in real time to ensure you stay under the daily par score.
Strategy Tips to Beat Par
- Delay Central Kings: Banish suspected Kings away from the center pile whenever possible to buy precious turns and unlock hidden numbers.
- Target Low-Card Piles: Focus on clearing piles with fewer face-down cards early to establish safe options and maintain momentum.
- Balance Banishments: Banish wisely—forced face-up draws after a banish leave less room for error, so use this mechanic only when a King threat is high.
