  1. Hi.. I am looking for a puzzle…
    It has 4 coloured dowels in a line on a wooden plinth. It has 4 sets of coloured wooden discs. The game is to move one disc at a time onto the same colour and eventually all the discs end up on the corresponding coloured dowel.

    I have searched every where, with no luck. I believe it originally came from Mark’s and Spencer over 10 years ago. Friends of mine were given it for Christmas.

    It is very challenging and I managed to complete it a couple of times.

    I am hoping you may know where I could find one?

      Unfortunately I do not know where you can find this game but if you look for Amish games, you might find it.

      Good luck!
