The player forced to take the last match loses.
Plan carefully to win in few moves.
Play Nim online for free. Three piles of matches lie on the table. On your turn, remove any number of matches from a single pile. The player who takes the last match loses. Beat the computer in as few moves as possible. It is aimed at players aged 8+ and up, and a typical round takes around 3 minutes. If you already enjoy Puzzle, logic and strategy games, you will feel at home here within seconds.
The goal is straightforward. The on-screen instructions walk you through it, and you can start playing with a single click. Controls are intuitive: use your mouse or keyboard on a computer, or tap and swipe on a phone or tablet.

Playing short, regular sessions supports memory, focus and mental agility.
