Understand the basics of Canfield Solitaire
Before making a move, check the cards in view. 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. Take the next action only when the current step is clear. For a calm first round, focus on one decision. Build tableau runs down in alternating colours, wrapping ace to king. Reserve cards refill empty columns automatically. Use another round to revisit a decision.
Thirteen reserve cards, four columns, draw-three recyclable stock. Free solo play, no wagering.
