Rig the game!

Hey bloggers,
for my maths this week we were laying a game, this game was called take three. How you play take three, is you start off with 21. Now P1 can take the numbers 1, 2, and 3 from 21. Say P1 takes 3 then there would be 18 left, now P2 can take away any numbers between 1 and 3 etcetera, etcetera.  How you win is you have to get the last number or token.

For my task today we had to rig this game so it is impossible for your opponent to win. How I worked this out was making a table and playing a few games and seeing if there are any patterns. The pattern I found was the people who are on 8 and 4 always in the game. so I found out that they were both multiples of 4. In conclusion, you have to be on a multiple of four to win the game.
Have you played this game before? Will you play it now?
