Play Canfield Solitaire with the rules at hand
Treat this as a chance to practise one rule. 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. Use another round to revisit a decision. 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.
