Tower of Hanoy

This article is about the card game. For the mathematical disk game, see Tower of Hanoi.

Tower of Hanoy is a solitaire card game which only uses 9 playing cards. It is based on the actual Tower of Hanoi game, where the object is to transfer discs from one peg to another without disturbing their order. The origin of the spelling is unclear. It has also been given the alternative names Tower of Pisa[1][2] or The Tower of Pisa.[3]
