Move all cards to the foundations.
How to play
This one is for people who want a mindless distraction. It's a good way to learn the suits and ranks of the flower cards. The foundations build from fourth rank to first, by suits. Any fourth rank card can be played on any open foundation stack, but a game doesn't count as a win unless the suits are in their proper order. That means Pine is at 1 o'clock, Plum at 2 o'clock etc. Once a card is played on a foundation stack it can't be taken off except by undoing the move. There can be no more than eight cards in a row.
The cards in the tableau build from first rank to fourth, without regard to suit. The third and fourth rank cards are interchangeable. Any card can be played on the canvas.

Playing tips
Hint: try to keep a row open to the canvas.
Move all cards to the foundations.
A circle of twelve cards are dealt out to the foundations. The two
of spades is dealt in the five o'clock position, each pile clockwise
dealt with a rank one higher, in suit order spades-hearts-clubs-diamonds,
leading to the king of diamonds in the four o'clock position. The
remaining cards are dealt out to eight piles of five cards each.
Move cards to the foundations until the top of each foundation is the
clock number for that position. Jack equals 11, Queen equals 12, and
Aces must be placed on Kings.
The playing piles build down by rank regardless of suit. Only the top card
is available for play, and empty rows may be filled with any single card.Base game rules: Grandfather's Clock
