Canfield Solitaire

Card games quickly found their way into video games. They provide the same gameplay as the paper based variant, but players enjoy better graphics and a tool that arranges the cards for them. Canfield Solitaire is a variant of the classic card game with a different set of rules and increased difficulty.

This variant of Solitaire comes with a set of rules that make it more difficult for the player to finish the game. There are four foundations and a single card is dealt there. You can start new foundations with cards of the same value. Players can draw cards from a reserve deck or a secondary deck. The reserve deck fills up any blank spaces on the board while the secondary deck can be shuffled to help you arrange cards.

The gameplay is standard. You click on cards and move them to another place. The game does not support automatic movement by double clicking on a card.

Canfield Solitaire is a pretty complicated game and it implies different rules. There is no help file to aid you in understanding the game regulations. You have a link to the home page of the game that offers the appropriate information. Moreover, the game does not provide any hints. It does not even tell you if there are no further legal rules, meaning you can play for a long time before you know you cannot advance.

You must have Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer for the game to run properly. It uses minimal computer resources. The images on the backs of the cards do not change and there are no animations. There are different action sounds available, but there is no background music to keep you focused.

Altogether, Canfield Solitaire is a game for connoisseurs. The increased difficulty will make beginners drop the game quickly. The graphics are not appealing, and the lack of background sounds will bore you faster. The game is free to play, but it provides a real challenge.
