Canfield Solitaire: instructions and practice
Before making a move, check the cards in view. 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. Use another round to revisit a decision. Look at the complete hand before deciding. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
Build familiarity through play
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear.
