Canfield — called Demon in Britain — is the solitaire a Saratoga casino once sold at $50 a deck, paying $5 for every card you got home. Thirteen cards go face down into a reserve, one card is dealt to a foundation and its rank becomes the base for all four, four cards start the columns, and the rest form a stock dealt three at a time with unlimited redeals. Building wraps: with a 7 as the base, foundations run 7 up to King, then Ace to 6, and columns build down past the Ace. Empty columns refill from the reserve on their own.
Controls. Tap a card then a column, or drag. Double-tap sends a card home when it can go. Undo is unlimited, Hint lights up a legal move, and every deal has a number: Replay restarts it and Share copies a link so a friend can play the identical layout. Keys: N new deal, D or Space for the stock, H hint, Ctrl+Z undo.
How do you play Canfield Solitaire? Build the four foundations up by suit from the base card, wrapping past the King; build the four columns down in alternating colours; play from the reserve, the columns and the three-at-a-time stock. Win when all 52 cards are home.
What is the base card in Canfield? The first card dealt to a foundation. Every foundation must start with that rank and build up from it, wrapping from King to Ace.
Is Canfield the same as Demon? Yes. Demon is the British name for the same game; the casino version was named after Richard Canfield, who ran it at his Saratoga club.
How often can you redeal in Canfield? As often as you like in this version. The stock deals three at a time, so make a single play from the waste when you can to change which cards come round.
