How to play Nim

Use YINGONG123 to play Nim and read its instructions on the same page. Remove the last counter on the board to win. Follow the build a repeatable approach approach for your next round.

Build a repeatable approach

Try a consistent sequence of observing, choosing and checking the result. Keep the sequence even when the position or challenge changes.

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.
