Can you beat this game?

Jaxey Games - Pearls Before Swine

The sound is really loud so you might want to turn down the volume.

This game is really addictive. I used to play a similar game using real marbles with my friends when I was a kid. There were certain patterns you look for but I've forgotten all of them. Are you able to beat this game?

I remember playing that game with matchsticks.

great. I didn't know it but it's really addictive. will come back to it, I'm loosing time to sleep. I wonder if there is a way to win or it is just that I am too sleepy.

Aw, this has nothing to do with the comic strip!

Cool game - sort of a mathematical ... thing. But the guy is so annoying that I don't want to figure out the strategy playing with "him". Someone should make a cute and un-annoying version.

Dear lord that guy is creepy and annoying. I imagine there is probably a nicer version somewhere, but I couldn't tell you where I will probably be playing with the speakers off until I beat it tough. I used to be good at these in high school.

I haven't seen this game in quite a while. It's actually the classic mathematical game of Nim. The Wikipedia page explains the winning strategy:
