Abstract

Krawec (2012) introduced a method of analyzing multi-player impartial games, and derived a recursive function capable of determining which of the n players has a winning strategy. The present paper is devoted to the game “Misère N -pile Nim with n players”, abbreviated by MiNim( N , n ), assuming that the standard alliance matrix is adopted. The game values of MiNim( N , n ) are completely determined for three cases: n > N + 1 , n = N + 1 and n = N . The case n < N is more complicated, we present the game values of MiNim( N , n ) only for n = 3 and N = 4 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
