I haven't figured the second one out yet either. I've only won once, but not quite sure how I did it... I made him go first though.

In the first game you can't win if you go first. I haven't played the second one yet.
EDIT: Well I have to eat those words. I played the second game and realized how to beat the first one.

Ok, did them both.
After you do the 1st one, the second is a piece of cake

Seriously? The second game is substantially harder!

Once I did the 1st, the second was almost exactly the same (hint...)Comment

I still can't beat the first one more than once after 30 some tries.

Edit:
OK, beat it five times now, but I do not understand the pattern. The game counters in the same way everytime.Last edited by High_Jumbllama; 18 August 2002, 10:16.Comment

I got the first, but I'm still struggling with the second."That's right fool! Now I'm a flying talking donkey!"

Ok. Who wants to know the pattern for the first one?

Ok, the trick in the first game is to avoid getting stuck with either of the following combos (or, conversely, to stick your opponent with them):
- Any 1, 2, 3 combination.
- 2 rows of 2 or 3 pearls.
Now, taking 2 pearls from the top row, leaving him with a 1,4,5 combo, allows you to ALWAYS stick your opponent with one of these combinations - usually within one turn, always within 2 turns.
The second game is, in my estimation, harder... simply because I haven't found a way to force him into a losing pattern yet.

Spoiler:
The opening move is always: In the last row (the one with six pearls) remove 4 pearls leaving 2. From here it's always easy bringing the poor sod to 1.2.3 scheme.
Good luck !Comment

You can use your mouse to mark the text and make it much more visible. I did it this way so I won't spoil for the guys who'd like to figure it by themselves.Comment
