How to play Nim

XH0411 presents Nim with a practical playbook rather than a download screen. Remove the last counter on the board to win. Read the understand the boundary note before you begin.

Understand the boundary

Check the edition notes and play mode. A local game, a computer opponent and remote multiplayer are different features.

Your goal

Remove the last counter on the board to win.

Step by step

1. Player 1 chooses a pile.
2. Remove at least one counter, and up to all counters, from that pile.
3. The next player chooses a pile and an amount.
4. Continue until no counters remain.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch.

A useful example

With piles of 1 and 2, a move may empty one pile, but cannot remove one counter from both in the same turn.

Watch out for this

Only one pile may be changed per turn.
