How to play
Objective
The running total starts at 0. On your turn add a whole number from 1 up to the maximum add. The first player to make the total equal the target wins. You may not add more than the amount still needed.
A winning strategy
There is a winning strategy using remainders. Let the modulus be the maximum add plus 1. If the amount still needed is not a multiple of that modulus, take the remainder. If it is already a multiple, any legal add is as good as any other, and the player to move cannot force the win if the opponent plays well.
Controls
Tap 1 up to the maximum add. Illegal buttons are disabled.
Keys 1 to 5 play that add when it is legal.
Hint plays the optimal add for you. Undo takes back your last add and the computer reply.
Difficulty
Easy: target 15, add 1 to 3
Classic: target 23, add 1 to 4
Hard: target 31, add 1 to 5
Daily challenge
Everyone receives the same seeded target from 21 to 35, with a maximum add of 4. Some days the computer starts. It resets at midnight UK. The first win of the day counts for the league and your streak.
