15 matchsticks are laid out in a row. Eggbug sits on the other side of the matchsticks relative to you. Three buttons can be clicked, each one causing you to take either one, two or three matchsticks from the table. Whenever you click a button, Eggbug will also remove one, two or three matchsticks from the table. If you lose the game, eggbug will encourage you to try again. If you win, eggbug becomes happy and congratulates you.
Take turns to draw one, two or three sticks from the board. Whoever has to draw the last stick loses!

Fun facts: Training the eggbugg Machine Learning AI for playing this Matchstick game generated approx. 3000 metric tons of carbon dioxide.
Each game played requires the weekly energy consumption of an average Swedish household.

Since this is being shared a bunch - you should give my other games a try too!

It's easy to win. Eggbug gets a mean look when they think they have a guaranteed win. They get a scared look when they think you have a move that wins the game.

Let it beat you a few times, changing up your moves each time. Don't play any move that gave eggbug a win (in the previous game).

I beat it. I don't even know what moves I played, I just memorized a path through the matchsticks that maximized eggbug's fear

I won the first attempt, and then purposefully let eggbug have a win.

Tbf, I’ve read the theory about The Game of Nim and know the strategy since it’s in a few of my favorite games at various points in time (Super Mario RPG, Mario Party, probably a few flash games growing up).
