Not really much to do with singles holidays or singles vacations - just a bit of fun while you are waiting for your ideal holiday partner to come along!!
These games are of the old style. Simple, but incredibly addictive! In fact some of them are so addictive it can be, "Just one more go.. OK.. perhaps another go.. Oh, just one more quick go...", until dawn is breaking. Don't say we didn't warn you! My Holiday Partner can accept no responsibility for red eyes in the morning!

|
|

|
If normal Tic Tac Toe (noughts and crosses) is a little tame for your blood then have a go at this version. Not only is the gaming board 4x4 instead of the usual 3x3 but it is also 4 deep too! Try to get lines in 3 dimensions. In the three normal directions plus vertically and diagonally in the vertical plane. Very thought provoking!
|
|
Towers of Hanoi
|
|
A nice example of the age old teaser. If you are not familiar with it you have to move all the disks to one of the other poles one at a time. However, you can only place a disk on another that is larger, not smaller. Sounds easy? Try it!
