How to Play Nim

Rules

Nim is a two-player game in which players take turns removing stones from distinct piles. Specifically, in one turn, a player must remove at least one stone from a single pile, but can remove as many stones as they want from that pile. The objective of the game is to be the player who removes the last stone. Equivalently, the player who cannot make any moves (remove any stones) loses.
