The 5-disk game can be played in 31 moves. Any player in the know can finish the 4-disk game in 15 moves. For a player who gets lost may end up taking more than 15 moves in a 4-disk game. A 4-disk game can be played in a minimum of 15 moves. It is possible that the player may make more moves than necessary if the player is not organized or gets lost.Ī 3-disk game can be played in 7 moves and no less than 7 moves. Obviously, the more disks there are in the game, the more difficult it is to successfully to transfer the disks. Of course, there are many others to choose from (simply Google tower of Hanoi game). I prefer the Math is Fun version since the disks are in different colors. Tow examples: version from Math is Fun (from 3-disk to 8-disk game) and 3-disk game to 9-disk game are available in this version. There are also many online versions of the game. Kitchen plates can also be used in place of books. Then stack books of varying sizes in one spot and proceed to move the books to another spot according to the rules described above. For example, use paper to mark three spots (to serve as rods).

A home made tower of Hanoi set can also be created.

Tower of Hanoi sets such as the one shown above are available from Amazon.

In addition, you can only place a smaller disk on top of a larger disk. Only the uppermost disk on a rod can be moved. The goal of the game is to move all the disks from the left most rod to the right most rod, one disk at a time.
