Play Canfield Solitaire Online — Free

Canfield is the famously tough casino solitaire: a 13-card reserve feeds four tableau columns, the foundations build up from a base rank that wraps King-to-Ace, and wins are hard-won. Play Canfield free in your browser.

How to Play Canfield

After the deal, one card sets the base rank for all four foundations; build them up in suit, wrapping past King back to Ace. A 13-card reserve and four tableau columns feed your plays.

Playing

Build the tableau down in alternating colours, wrapping from Ace to King.
Move whole ordered runs between columns.
The top card of the reserve is always available to play.
Turn the stock three at a time, with unlimited redeals.

Strategy & Tips

Empty the reserve whenever you can — those cards are otherwise locked away.
Don't clog your tableau; keep places to receive cards from the reserve.
Get all four foundations started early so you always have somewhere to play.
Use the stock's redeals to fish out the cards you need.
Think before committing the reserve's top card.
