Also known as Fascination or Demon
and incorrectly called Klondike, 
Canfield got its name from the famous
gambling house in Saratoga Springs,
New York.


Layout:

               f
               F F F F

            S  C C C C  T P

  - f : the base foundation card
  - F : top card in each suit
  - S : stock
  - C : columns 1 - 4
  - T : talon or waste pile
  - P : pack or hand

There are 13 cards in a stack face up
to form the stock(S).  The base
foundation(f) is placed slightly
above the main foundation
positions(F) that you don't have to
remember what it was.  Next one card
in each of the columns (C) is dealt.
The remaining cards are placed face
down in the pack(P).


Play:

The foundations are built up in suit
starting with the base foundation
initially dealt at the start of the
game.  Cards from the stock, the last
card in the columns and the talon can
be played on the foundations.

The cards in the columns are built 
downward in rank and in alternate
colors.  In addition, you can warp 
around.  For example, if an Ace of
hearts is the last card in the column
either of the black Kings can be 
played on it.  Cards from the stock,
another column or the talon are
available for play.

A blank column is automatically
filled with cards from the stock if
any are available.  Otherwise the
player may select the card of his
choice from the talon.

Cards are moved from the pack to the
talon 3 cards at a time unless there
are insufficient cards remaining in
the pack.

Game play continues until legal moves
are exhausted or all cards have been
moved to the foundations.  If play
can not continue, pressing "S" will
set up a new game.


Scoring:

The player starts with 500 points and
"buys" the deck and layout for 52
points.  Each card moved to the 
foundation during the game is 
rewarded with 5 points.  The base
foundation card does not score any
points.


Game play:

The arrow keys and 'return' can be 
used to make the required selections.
The joystick can also be substituted
for keyboard input.  A selection is 
made by first positioning the blue 
arrow over or next to the desired
card column.  Press 'return' (fire
button) and the blue arrow turns
green.  This indicates that the 
card has been selected for movement.
Move the arrow to the desired 
destination.  Notice that the 
selected card still has a red arrow
above it.  Press 'return' (fire
button) again and if the play is 
legal the move will be executed and 
the arrow will be returned to its
starting point.  If the play is 
illegal a number of tones will sound
depending on the type of error.  I 
apologize for not providing error 
messages, however, this graphics 
mode and the PASCAL use so much
memory I didn't have enough to 
display error messages.

To overcome the limited amount of 
vertical space the columns can only
display five cards.  When six or 
more cards are in the column, the
first and last four cards are 
displayed.  Though unusal it is not
ab unreasonable compromise since 
according to the rules all available
cards could be in a single column,
which would exceed even the highest
graphics mode.


Parting comments:

Canfield allows for a good amount of
strategy and it is one of my personal
favoriates.  To be successfull the 
first card in the column should be 
one less than the base foundation 
card.  Good luck.
