Canfield Solitaire: learn through an example
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. Check the relevant controls before continuing. Work at your own pace. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. 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.
