LastTake

The strategy game of Nim

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Simple rules, deep strategy. Learn with a built-in coach, then challenge the engine or play online. Can you claim the last stone? Last Take is a two-player strategy game based on Nim – one of the oldest mathematical games in history. The rules take seconds to learn: pick any connected group of stones from the board and take them. The player who takes the last stone wins. But beneath the simplicity lies deep, beautiful mathematics. PLAY YOUR WAY Challenge the Engine at four (with Advanced, five) difficulty levels, take on a local opponent, or match up against players worldwide through Game Center. TWO RULE SETS Normal – the player who takes the last stone wins. Misère – the player forced to take the last stone loses. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Your win rate, broken down by board size and engine level, is always a tap away. The more you play, the more you understand the game. ADVANCED VERSION (one-time purchase) Unlock the full experience: · Boards with up to 64 stones (free: up to 20) · Master engine level, powered by an opening book · ELO rating for engine, local and online games (for Normal rules only) · Full online play with ELO tracking via Game Center Whether you are just learning the rules or chasing a higher rating, Last Take offers a pure and elegant challenge that fits in your pocket.
