🧠 How to play (Misère Nim)
• On your turn, pick a single pile and remove any positive number of stones.
• You must take at least one stone.
• In Misère Nim, the player who takes the last remaining stone LOSES.
• Tip: When there is more than one pile with >1 stone, play like normal Nim
(aim to make the XOR = 0). When only piles of size 1 remain, leave an odd
number of 1’s for your opponent.
