Mandalay:The Game of a Lifetime, 1960-1965

01

Artifact Overview

The objective of this puzzle game is to move all the discs from one post to another. Play begins with the discs stacked in a pyramid shape (largest to smallest) on one post. The player can move only one disc at a time. And there is a catch -- a larger piece cannot be placed on top of a smaller piece.
