Klondike vs Canfield
Klondike is built from seven tableau columns, with foundations that always start at the Ace. You can choose between drawing one or three from the stock, so the game is as relaxed or as testing as you like.
Canfield deals a 13-card reserve, of which only the top card is visible, and four tableau columns that build down in alternating colours, wrapping from Ace to King. The first foundation card sets the starting rank of all four foundations, and you get three passes through the stock.
