How to play Nim

There are four rows of objects. On your turn, click an object to remove it and every object to its right in that row — so you take any number from a single row. Players alternate, and whoever removes the very last object wins. The Hard computer never makes a mistake, so beat it before it gets the upper hand.

Nim — frequently asked questions

Is there a winning strategy?

Yes — Nim is solved by the “Nim-sum” (XOR of the row sizes). The Hard computer follows it perfectly, so look for it to slip on Easy.

How many can I take?

Any number from one to all of them, but only from one row per turn.
