Canfield Solitaire Guide

Learn Canfield Solitaire rules, reserve-pile strategy, foundation starts, and how Canfield compares with Klondike.

  1. Reserve Pile

    Canfield's reserve creates pressure that Klondike does not have.

  2. Variable Foundations

    The starting foundation rank changes the shape of each deal.

  3. 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?
