Nim
This is a good game for developing logical thinking and the ability to think ahead.
Arrange 16 matches in a 1-3-5-7 pattern. The game can be played with other arrangements, but this version works particularly well.
Take turns to remove as many matches as you like from any one row with the final aim of making your opponent pick up the last match.
An analysis of Nim and a description of how to win the game is available to our Gold Membership subscribers and on our Icebreaker CD-ROM.
