Canfield Solitaire: how a round works
Look at the complete hand before deciding. 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. Return to the explanation when a decision is unclear. A clear plan starts with the current position. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. The same rule applies on a phone and on a computer.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
