2 D Nim

In the last post we had a single dimension Nim game, this post introduces a Second Dimension.
Nim is a mathematical game of strategy in which two players take turns removing (i.e., nimming) objects from distinct heaps or piles. ...  
Nim is typically played as a misère game, in which the player to take the last object loses.  
Nim can also be played as a normal play game, where the player taking the last object wins.

After playing one way, it is great to change the rules so that the opposite is the winning.  Teachers and parents should observe studenst to see if they can transfer the knowledge into a new situation.

I look forward to hearing how you use the Nim Games with family or class. As well as, of course, how the students enjoy the activities!
