Double Canfield

Objective

To build the 8 Foundations up in Ascending Family Sequence from Ace to King.

Layout

- This game is played with two packs of 52, well shuffled, playing cards.
- The Tableau (T) consists of 5 cards dealt in 5 columns of 1 card each. All cards are dealt face-up.
- The Reserve (R) consists of 13 cards dealt face-down except for the last one.
- The Foundations (F) start empty except for the first one which starts with an ace, all waiting for building.
- The Stock (S) starts with the 85 remaining cards, all face-down.
- The Waste (W) starts empty, ready to receive cards dealt from the Stock.

Rules

- The Tableau is built in Descending Alternate Color Sequence. The exposed card of each Tableau column can be moved to another Tableau column or to the Foundations if it fits the target pile building rules. Also, a partial pack of exposed cards, forming a valid suit, can be moved to another Tableau column if the head card fits the target pile building rules. When a Tableau column is cleared out the space is automatically filled with the exposed card of the Reserve, and when the Reserve is empty the Tableau column may be filled by any card or any valid suit.
- The Foundations are built in Ascending Family Sequence. The exposed card of any Foundation can be moved to the Tableau if it fits the target pile building rules.
- The Stock accepts no building. When activated, the Stock deals 3 cards, face-up, to the Waste, or, when empty, the cards still in the Waste are redealt to the Stock, ready for a new pass. Cards, as they come and go from the Stock to the Waste (and vice versa), always retain their initial order. Unlimited redeals.
- The Waste accepts no building. Only cards dealt from the Stock can fill the Waste. The exposed card of the Waste is available for play to the Tableau or to the Foundations as long as it fits the target pile building rules.
- The Reserve accepts no building. The exposed card is available for play to the Tableau or to the Foundations as long as they fits the target pile building rules. When a blocked card is released, it is immediately turned face-up.
