The top card from the centre pile is turned up and placed where it belongs on the clock face (with numbers representing the hours, aces one o'clock, jacks and queens eleven o'clock and twelve o'clock respectively, and kings in the centre). A card is then taken from the pile which that card has been placed at, and the game continues in this way. The object of the game is to turn up all of the other cards before the last king is found.
