"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:31-32

Today we are going to play a game called "Nim". It is a fairly simple game for two players. As we play we will be finding ways to guarantee a win. The game file is saved in our class folder. Before you play the computer, you should play against each other. You can just use paper. I will explain the game at the beginning of class.

Remember as you play that you are not just play for fun, but you are analyzing the game and trying to come up with a way to win EVERY time.

By the way, it does matter whether you go first or second. One of the players can force a win each time, but I won't tell you which one!
