Canfield Solitaire: how a round works
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. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer. Keep the active rule in mind. 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.
Try a more deliberate round
Before making a move, check the cards in view. Select a face-up card and then the destination pile or Empty slot. Use another round to revisit a decision.
