A downloadable game for Windows

Hackenbush is a classic combinatorial game invented by John Conway. We have decided it's time to give it a fresh coat of paint. In this mildly humorous adaptation you can test your skills - or luck - against an infallible algorithm. But don't worry: you always start with an advantage. Your only job? don't lose it.

Bonus Content: Play your own levels in another simple yet famous game - Nim.

The mathematics behing finding a winning move can be fascinating, so we encourage you to try and learn the basics. Remember: winning is deceptively hard.

This game was developed as part of a bachelor's thesis.
