Free the Kings first
Seahaven Towers
One deck
Goal: build all four foundations up from Ace to King, each in a single suit.
- Ten columns of five cards build down in the same suit (a 6 of spades on a 7 of spades).
- Four free cells hold one card each — two of them start with a card from the deal.
- Only a King may start an empty column, so freeing your Kings is the opening problem.
- A descending same-suit run can be dragged as a group, but only as far as free cells and empty columns could relay it by hand: (1 + free cells) × 2 for each empty column.

Ten same-suit columns that only a King may start, four cells, and staged moves over a deal that leaves two cards in the cells. Written as a design file, this is the whole game. Make a game explains every part of it.
