What are Nim games?
Nim games are board games for two players.
They may look very different but the math behind is the same.
The games also share following characteristics:
- winner is the one who reaches the games' final state
- each game ends with a winner
- a game has a finite number of moves
- a board state is either "good" or "bad"
- a move from a "good" state results in a "bad" board state
- for a "bad" state, there is a move that results in a "good" state

About these Nim games
The games are programmed as single player versions: the computer is the second player.
The player may win each game by moving from a "bad" starting state to a "good" state or, in case of a
good starting state, have the computer do the first move.
