Looks like clock solitaire. https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/clock-solitaire-rules-412468
Clock solitaire is a lot more descriptive. I'd always heard of the game patience but couldn't picture how it was played.
I’m not certain they are referring to the game of patience (typically Klondike) or the fact that clock solitaire is rough statistically…1% win rate.
The game is called "Patience" - but like the other comment says, it probably has a different name.
