My penpal told me that this game was almost exactly the same as a game in china called NIM !

INVENTIVE WAYS TO WIN

  1. Try to end up with 1-2-3 , 1-4-5 , or 7-5-6 after your turn
  2. The game is deeply involved with binary numbers .
  3. If you go first and you know what your doing you will allways win .
  4. Always take 1 from any row if you go first .
  5. If you leave your opponent with two rows of the same number you win .
