About Resource Rush
Resource Rush is the classic game of Nim. Several piles of stones sit on the table. On your turn you take any number of stones from a single pile, and whoever takes the very last stone wins. There is a perfect strategy based on binary arithmetic, and the rival uses it more often on higher levels.
How to play
- Tap a stone to remove it and every stone above it in that pile.
- Take turns with the rival.
- Whoever takes the last stone wins.
Tips and strategy
- Write each pile size in binary and add the columns without carrying.
- Leave the piles in a position where every binary column has an even count.
- If you cannot find a perfect move, take one stone and wait for a mistake.
Levels, stars and XP
Finish a level to earn one to three stars and XP towards your player level. Replay any unlocked level to improve your stars. From level 151 the game enters endless mode, where each level is a remix of an earlier one with fresh colours and a slightly higher difficulty.
