Canfield Solitaire Guide
Learn Canfield Solitaire rules, reserve-pile strategy, foundation starts, and how Canfield compares with Klondike.
Reserve Pile
Canfield's reserve creates pressure that Klondike does not have.
Variable Foundations
The starting foundation rank changes the shape of each deal.
Classic Patience
Canfield is a historic solitaire variant for players who want a tougher rule set.
A few things you might be wondering
Why is Canfield Solitaire hard?
The reserve pile and variable foundation start can restrict moves quickly, so timing matters more than in many casual solitaire variants.
Do Canfield foundations always start with Aces?
No. Canfield foundations start from the rank of the opening foundation card, then build upward by suit and wrap when needed.
Is Canfield similar to Klondike?
Both use tableau building and foundations, but Canfield adds a reserve pile and different foundation starts.
What if I make a mistake?
Use Undo when it is available to take back a move. Check the current mode’s rules for any effect on scoring or eligibility. Starting or restarting a game may replace your current progress.
