Game Description

The Tower of Hanoi is a timeless logic and problem-solving puzzle. This version consists of a single-piece base with three fixed pegs and five removable rings of increasing diameter.

All five rings start stacked on one peg, with the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top. The challenge is to move the entire stack to another peg while following a simple set of rules. Despite its minimal design, the puzzle encourages strategic thinking, patience, and planning.

This model is designed specifically for easy 3D printing in PLA with no supports required.
