But it always says device wins, even if you win. ### 4/5 — Fun and unusual *2019-08-19* This is a fun and simple game. It requires some mental gymnastics to think in binary digits. I hope new games or levels based on binary digits logic get created. ### 5/5 — Me *2019-01-08, version 1.6* Love this game ### 5/5 — Brilliant Game And It Is Free!! *2015-08-28, version 1.1* I saw this played at a charity function for £1 a go winner takes all in the large whisky bottle. It was played all day and never won which raised a lot of money. Afterwards intrigued by this I learned to master it but forgot over the years so I was very pleased to find this version which teaches how to win as well. It's hard believe I'm using an iPad that is based on the same binary as NIM. Thank you to the developer for designing this superb game and most of all supplying it for free!! ## Frequently asked questions about Nimtastic ### What is Nimtastic?
