About this video

Learn Canfield Solitaire strategy: clear the reserve to reach hidden cards, preserve useful tableau landing cards, use empty columns to release waste cards, and time removals to reach a missing foundation starter on the next stock pass.

Bring blocked cards into play by looking at what each move exposes and which landing cards it leaves available.

Compare banking the only useful King with keeping it for the reserve Queen, then follow stock passes after one or two removals to see why playing an extra card can bury a needed Seven. Illustrative positions are labelled on screen.
