NimGames.net is an interactive educational website for learning and exploring game theory, especially as it applies to competitive programming and combinatorial games. The site provides a hands-on experience with classic impartial games, allowing users to play against the computer or challenge other players live online.

• Interactive Game Theory Playground: Learn the fundamentals of combinatorial game theory through play and experimentation.
• Play Against the Computer: Test your strategies against a computer opponent with optimal play.
• Live Multiplayer: Play real-time games against other users from around the world.
• Educational Content: In-depth articles and tutorials explaining the theory and strategies behind each game.

• Nim: The classic game of removing stones from piles, foundational to combinatorial game theory.
• Marbles: Take turns removing one to three marbles and win if you remove the last one.
• Lone Knight: Move a single knight on a chessboard with restricted moves.
• Multi Knight: Multiple knights on a chessboard with restricted moves.
