Towers of Hanoi (code:TCTTOH)
A great team game that requires problem solving skills. Requires some specialised props.
The legend which accompanies the game stated that in Benares, during the reign of the Emperor Fo Hi, there was a temple with a dome which marked the centre of the world. Within the dome, priests moved golden disks between diamond needles, a cubit high and as thick as the body of a bee. God placed 64 gold disks on one needle at the time of creation and required them to move them (following the above instructions) to the other. It was said that when they completed their task, the universe would come to an end.
The end of the universe is not, however, imminent! Assuming one move per second, and no wrong moves, it would take almost 585,000,000,000 years to complete the task with 64 disks.
Hopefully it will just take your delegates from 30-60 minutes to complete the equivalent task with slightly fewer disks.
