Nimmy

Put some Italian summer fun in your iPhone with this classic game played all over Italy!

Nim, this two-player game of strategy, is as old as Rome. But it became famous across Europe from its role in the 1961 classic film "Last Year at Marianbad" by French surrealist director Alain Resnais.

Heres how you play this fun summer version the Italians call "Nimmy".

Youll see that your Italian beach has 16 sun umbrellas lined up in four rows - 7 in one row, 5 in another, then a row of 3, then just one.

Play alternates between you and your opponent. To play your turn, take one or more of the umbrellas out of a single row - how many is your choice. You win by leaving your opponent to remove the last umbrella. Its a simple little game loved throughout Italy - and a fun match of wits for anyone playing around the world!

Play Nimmy against your iPhone, or you can challenge an amico or amica. See why the Italians love Nimmy, and catch the Nimmy craze yourself.

The themes and colors of summer will entertain you through all four seasons!
