💖 KCANFIELD — the canfield solitaire moment 💖

okay bestie, welcome to kcanfield(6), straight out of the Games Manual section. yes we're in section 6. yes it's a game. yes it's iconic. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

kcanfield — X window canfield solitaire 🃏

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kcanfield

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just launch and slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

kcanfield pulls up a whole window for a game of canfield solitaire. like, an actual X window. on your screen. living its best life. ✨

Here's how you play with it, no cap:

  • Clicking on a card moves it to the "best" legal play. the game is out here making decisions for you and honestly? it's usually right.
  • Dragging a card places it in the target stack — if it's legal. if it's not legal, bestie, it's just not going there. 🚫

👑 RULES 👑

okay so this is the part where you actually need to lock in. get comfy. 🫶

  • Tableaus build down circularly in alternating colors. yes, circularly. yes, alternating. both. at once. she's complicated and we love her for it. 💜
  • Full builds may be moved to other tableaus. (full build = the whole stack, moving as one, main character energy 👑)
  • Top cards may be moved to foundations.
  • Empty tableaus must be filled immediately from the stock until it is empty. like, IMMEDIATELY immediately. no waiting. 🙈
  • Once the stock is empty, you can fill empty tableaus at will from the discard pile. freedom!! 🦋
  • Foundations build up circularly in suit. 🌈
  • Empty foundations must be filled with cards of the same rank as the starter card placed during the layout. this one matters, don't skip it.

🍓 the dealing situation 🍓

Deal three cards onto the discard pile by tapping the deck. three. tap tap tap. 💅

Top cards of the stock and the discard may be moved to tableaus or foundations. those are your options and they're good options. ✨

⭐ the goal ⭐

move all cards to the foundations. 👑

that's it. that's the dream. that's the finish line. periodt. 💖
