Free Canfield solitaire online
Canfield, known in Britain as Demon, is said to have started in a casino in Saratoga, where players bought a deck and were paid for every card they got onto the foundations. It is quick, tricky and hard to win, which is exactly why people keep coming back to it.
How to play Canfield
Move all 52 cards to the four foundations.
- The first card dealt to the foundations sets the starting rank for all four. Build each foundation up in suit from that rank, going round the corner from King to Ace.
- Build the four tableau piles down in alternating colours. A King may be placed on an Ace.
- The pile of thirteen cards on the left is the reserve. Its top card can be played to a foundation or to the tableau.
- An empty tableau pile is filled from the reserve straight away. Once the reserve is gone, any card may fill a space.
- Tap the stock to turn three cards. You may go through the stock as often as you like.
Canfield tips
- Getting cards out of the reserve matters more than anything else. Take every chance to play its top card.
- Look at which ranks the foundations need next before you bury a card in the tableau.
- Move whole piles onto each other to open a space; it will pull the next reserve card into play.
How often can Canfield be won?
Some deals cannot be won. The reserve and changing foundation rank make planning difficult; judge progress by how many reserve cards you can free.
