Eagle Wing deals Canfield into the shape of a bird. Thirteen cards stack into the body — the reserve — and eight single cards spread either side of it as the wings. One more card is turned to start a foundation, and whatever rank it happens to be is the rank all four foundations build from. Where Canfield lets you build the tableau in alternating colours, Eagle Wing insists on suit, which with one card per wing makes those wings storage rather than a workshop. The game is really about the order the reserve chooses to give you its thirteen cards.
The reserve is the game; the wings are a shelf. Thirteen cards come off that pile in one fixed order, and a wing can only hold a suit-run you may never get to build. Spend your attention on what the reserve is about to hand you, not on tidying the wings.
Learn the base rank before you move. If the deal picks a nine, then eights are the last cards you will place and tens are the first. Players lose Eagle Wing by playing on ace-to-king instincts for the first dozen moves.
A space is not a resource here. Emptying a wing does not give you a free column — the reserve fills it immediately, and with a card you did not choose. Only once the reserve is exhausted does an empty wing become yours to use.
Spend the first redeal while the waste is still deep. A redeal reorders nothing; it just gives the cards back. That is worth most when there are enough of them left to matter.
The Canfield family is built on one idea no other family uses: the deal turns a card, and that card's rank is where all four foundations start. A board based on sevens runs 7, 8, ..., king, ace, 2, ..., 6 — so the ranks you are used to treating as scrap become the ones you need first. Around that sit a thirteen-card reserve you may only take from the top, and empty columns that refill themselves from it. Its members then differ by what the tableau builds on and how much of the board there is: Eagle Wing keeps the family's reserve and base rank but tightens the tableau to suit-only, which is why its eight wings stay so shallow. Storehouse removes the guesswork by fixing the base at the twos. Chameleon drops the build rule entirely.
