We have not written a verdict for this pairing. The comparison above is drawn from each game's own recorded facts — follow either link for its full rules and strategy.

Baker's Game

The predecessor to FreeCell — identical rules, except tableau sequences must build by suit rather than alternating color.

The layout is FreeCell's exactly — 52 cards face up in eight columns, four of seven and four of six, with four single-card cells alongside and four foundations building up by suit from Ace. One rule differs: columns build down by the same suit rather than in alternating colours.

Seahaven Towers

A FreeCell relative played with ten tableau columns and only two free cells.

Ten columns of five cards are dealt face up, with two cells alongside for parking single cards. Columns build down in suit — the strict rule — and foundations build each suit up from Ace.
