Abstract

This talk will review the basics of the game of Nim and look at the Game of Simplicial Nim. It is well known in combinatorial game theory that any impartial game is equivalent to a game of Nim. This equivalence is called the Grundy value of a game. After looking at how this equivalence works we next look at how we can extend these ideas to simplical sets. Finally we will explore some variations of simplicial nim that I know nothing about, but I am convinced there is more to the story.
