Place one counter on each spot. Players, in turn, remove one counter or two adjacent counters; ('adjacent' means that they are connected by a line and there are no other counters in between). The winner is the player who picks up the last counter or the last two counters.
Describe the strategy for winning the game of Nim. The rules are simple. Start with any number of counters in any number of piles. Two players take turns to remove any number of counters from a single pile. The loser is the player who takes the last counter.
