Canfield Solitaire: instructions and practice
Begin with the objective. 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. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. Look at the complete hand before deciding. 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.
Practice beyond the first move
For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Take the next action only when the current step is clear.
