Sea Towers Solitaire

Seahaven Towers Solitaire Objective

To win Seahaven Towers Solitaire, complete all four foundation piles by starting each one with an ace and building cards in ascending order to king by suit. The four free cells help you rearrange cards and sequence them in the tableau so that you can access cards for the foundation piles.

How to Play Seahaven Towers Solitaire

Seahaven Towers is a more difficult variation of FreeCell. In Seahaven Towers, you must sequence cards by suit instead of alternating color, which means you only have one match to a card instead of two, and only kings can fill an empty column, which limits your movement in the tableau.

Seahaven Towers Solitaire Rules

• Available cards can be moved to free cells, tableau columns, and foundation piles. As long as no card is overlapping it, a card is available to be moved. The bottom card of a tableau column has no cards blocking (overlapping) it, so it's the only card in a column that is free to move. The top card of a foundation pile as well as cards in free cells are also available to move.
• Sequence the tableau cards in descending order by suit. For example, you can place a 9♦ on a 10♦ or a J♥ on a Q♥.
• Sequences can be moved one card at a time if the length of the sequence equals the number of open free cells plus one. For example, you can move the sequence of K♠ and Q♠ because you have one empty free cell, but the queen must move to the free cell first so that the king can move to the empty column.
• Only place kings into empty columns.
• Arrange foundation piles in ascending order, by suit, from ace to king. For example, the 4♠ can be placed on the 3♠ in the foundation pile, followed by the 5♠ and 6♠. After you complete all four foundation piles you win!

Seahaven Towers Solitaire Strategies

• Free lower ranking cards like aces and twos to get foundation piles started. Because foundation piles begin with aces, you need to get those freed and into foundation piles so that you can begin building those piles.
• Move cards to the foundation piles as soon as they are available. The tableau cards must be arranged in descending order by suit, so you aren't relying on creating long sequences in the tableau. Moving available cards to their foundation piles helps clear out the tableau and give you more space to arrange cards.
• Prioritize emptying columns. Empty columns give you a dedicated space to build a long sequence of cards. So try to empty a couple of columns early in the game so you can move a king in and have another space for moving cards.
• Avoid building long sequences on top of unsequenced cards. Building sequences of four or more cards will get you stuck in the tableau. A sequence of four cards needs three open free cells to move, and you'll likely have two filled at all times. So unless you're building in an empty column, stick to just sequences of three or fewer cards so that you can unblock the unsequenced ones easier.
• Plan ahead for emptying free cells. Free cells should only be temporary storage. If you move a card to a free cell with no plan for moving it back to the tableau or a foundation pile, you will lock up free cells and block yourself from moving cards in the tableau. And because you start the game with two free cells filled, consider how you can move those out early in the game to give you more space.
• Try to keep at least one free cell always open. If all free cells are filled, you'll get stuck, but if you keep at least one cell open, you can move at least one card.

Seahaven Towers can be a challenge, but if you enjoy having open cells to move cards into, you can try other variations like Eight Off or Baker's Game. You can play these and hundreds of Solitaire games for free on Solitaired!
