Play Sea Towers Solitaire Online for Free (No Signup Required)

FreeCell's cousin builds down by suit instead of alternating colors, with two of the four cells filled before you start. Single deck, easy, 94% win rate.

Art Cabral designed this well-known FreeCell variant in 1988. Because the deal starts differently than classic FreeCell, this version builds down by suit instead of alternating colors.

Also known as "Seahaven Towers" or just "Seahaven," it's an easy game with a 94% win rate. It's played with a single deck, and skill matters far more than luck.

The game is similar to FreeCell, Double SeaTowers, Baker's Game, ForeCell Solitaire, Eight Off Solitaire, and Lake Towers.

How to play Sea Towers Solitaire

Layout:

4 foundation piles: Build up from Ace to King in the same suit.

4 cells: Each cell holds one card. At the start of the game, one card is dealt to each of the two center cells.

10 tableau piles: Built down in suit, one card at a time. There's no multi-card move here, even with open cells. Only a King can fill an empty pile. At the start of the game, each pile is dealt 5 cards face-up.

Foundation:

There are four foundation piles.

A card can be added to a foundation pile only if it's one rank higher and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a 4 of hearts is a 5 of hearts.

The top card of each foundation can be moved back into play if another pile will accept it.

Cells:

Four cells, two of which hold one card at first.

Each cell holds one card. Any available card can be played into any available cell. Cell cards can be played back to the tableau or the foundation.

Tableau:

Ten tableau piles of five cards each, all dealt face-up. There are no multi-card moves, so cards travel one at a time regardless of how many cells are free.

A card can be added to a tableau pile only if it's one rank lower and the same suit as the pile's current top card, so the only card that fits on a 5 of clubs is a 4 of clubs.

Cards on the tableau that are not covered by another card can be played onto the foundation, an empty cell, or any other tableau pile.

Only kings may fill empty spots in the tableau.
