Canfield solitaire with unlimited deals
The casino classic: a thirteen-card reserve, plus foundations that start wherever the deal says and wrap around.
This game starts a fresh deal after a reload. Use the deal number to replay the same layout.
Keyboard: Tab to a card or pile, then press Enter or Space to select it or make the move.
The played, win rate and W–L figures cover up to the 400 most recent deal outcomes stored in this browser, and the Daily streak continues across older outcomes. A deal is recorded when you win or leave it after making a move, so a dead end that Undo can still rescue does not count as a loss. The Daily counts once per UTC date, and replaying a recorded deal never adds another play. A later win on a lost deal replaces the loss. Unlimited results are kept separate.
How to play
The card dealt to the foundations sets the base rank. All four foundations start there and build up by suit, wrapping from king back to ace until each holds thirteen. Four columns build down in alternating colors, also wrapping. The reserve's top card is always live, and it automatically refills any column you empty; all thirteen reserve cards have to find a way out. The stock deals three at a time with unlimited recycles. Richard Canfield's 1890s casino sold decks at $50 and paid $5 per card you got home, and the house still came out ahead.
Questions people ask
What does the base rank mean?
If the deal turns up a six, every foundation runs 6-7-8… king, ace, two… five. Forgetting the wrap from king to ace is the classic Canfield mistake.
What's the reserve for?
It's the clock you're playing against: thirteen cards with the top one live, filling every column you empty. Drain it and the foundations mostly follow.
Where does the name come from?
Richard Canfield ran the Saratoga casino where the game was a house attraction in the 1890s. The game is traditional; this implementation is ours.
