This game is called the take away game, how it works is there are 2 player, 21 chips, and each player can only take between 1 and 3 chips when it is there turn, the person to take the last chip wins the round, it allows the user too pick the amount of rounds and their names too make the game a bit more accsesible, and customizable.
