A practical guide to Canfield Solitaire
Use the rule sheet as a reference. 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.

Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
