Canfield Solitaire: what to know before playing
A clear plan starts with the current position. Complete four suited foundations beginning at the dealt base rank and wrapping king to ace. Select cards directly on the tableau and work through a full solo deal. Check the relevant controls before continuing. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. Check the relevant controls before continuing.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Practice with a purpose
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
