Canfield Solitaire

About Canfield Solitaire

Play Canfield Solitaire, also known as Demon Patience, free online. A randomly chosen foundation card sets the starting rank for all four suits. Balance four tableau columns, a thirteen-card reserve and a recyclable stock as you build every foundation through a full suit. Choose Draw 1 or Draw 3 and play on phone, tablet or desktop.

How to play

Move all 52 cards to the four foundations. Thirteen cards begin in the reserve, four cards start the tableau columns, and one card starts the first foundation. That card sets the base rank for every foundation; the remaining 34 cards form the stock.

Build foundations upward in the same suit, starting with the base rank and wrapping from King to Ace until each foundation contains thirteen cards. For example, a foundation starting at 7 finishes at 6. Only an exposed single card may move to a foundation.

Build tableau columns downward in alternating colours, wrapping from Ace to King. You may move a face-up card together with every card covering it, even if that group is not ordered. Empty columns are filled automatically from the reserve. When the reserve is empty, any card or group can fill an empty column. Only the exposed reserve card and the top waste card are available.

Tap the stock to draw three cards by default, or choose Draw 1 in Settings to start a new deal. Only the top waste card can be played; when the stock is empty, recycle the waste as often as you like. Drag cards to legal destinations or double-tap for an automatic move. Use Undo to reconsider a move, or Replay deal to try the same layout again.
