Concept
Hats of Hanoi is a specialist version of Towers of Hanoi, radically re-imagined and set during the Vietnam War.
Gameplay
Hats of Hanoi involves moving hats between people’s heads in the style of Towers of Hanoi, with the movement of people’s heads, their resistance to your movements (or indeed the concept of the game itself) and the all but inevitable spectacle of hats flying everywhere representing both the war and man’s inhumanity to man.
There is undoubtedly potential to further extend the game, and indeed the entire metaphor, and as such the game has been identified as a long term Bureau project.
Cultural Impact
This game was invented by Stav. It may have been better if he hadn’t but it’s too late now, much like the Vietnam War itself in fact.
