Question 1

What is Seahaven Towers?

Accepted Answer

Seahaven Towers is a strategic single-deck solitaire game played with 10 tableau columns of 5 cards each (50 cards face-up) plus 4 free cells, 2 of which start occupied by the remaining cards. The goal is to build four foundation piles from Ace to King by suit. Only single cards can be moved, and empty columns can only be filled with Kings.

Question 2

How is Seahaven Towers different from FreeCell?

Accepted Answer

While both games use free cells and foundations, Seahaven Towers requires same-suit descending stacking (not alternating colors), has 10 columns instead of 8, only allows single-card moves (no supermoves), and restricts empty columns to Kings only. It starts with 2 of 4 free cells already occupied, making the opening more constrained.

Question 3

What is the win rate for Seahaven Towers?

Accepted Answer

Seahaven Towers has an estimated win rate of around 85-90% with expert play. The combination of 4 free cells and 10 columns provides significant maneuverability, but the same-suit stacking and Kings-only empty column rules create challenging decision points.

Question 4

Can you move groups of cards in Seahaven Towers?

Accepted Answer

No. Seahaven Towers only allows single-card moves — you cannot move sequences or groups of cards at once. This is a key difference from FreeCell, which allows supermoves (moving multiple cards using empty cells and columns as intermediate storage). Every move in Seahaven must be planned one card at a time.

Question 5

What can fill an empty column in Seahaven Towers?

Accepted Answer

Only Kings can be placed in empty tableau columns. This restriction makes empty columns both powerful and precious — you need to plan carefully before creating them and ensure you have a King ready to take advantage of the space.
