Hi folks,
I am pleased to announced that I have released a new game, Aces’ Nim. Aces’ Nim is a deceptively simple game about collecting cards that turns out to yield surprisingly intricate and beautiful strategic calculations. All positions generated by the game are guaranteed to be winnable with perfect play, and you may enjoy the puzzle of working out the principles needed to compute a winning move (in a similar vein to my earlier game Symmetric Pursuit).
The game is heavily inspired by Combinatorial Game Theory as elucidated by Berlekamp, Conway, and Guy. If you enjoy the game, please consider it as an invitation to that fascinating field!
