I recently came across an online game, called "Pearl Game (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/games/play/893/)".
Basically you and the computer take turns removing pearls from each row. You can only remove pearls from one row at a time, but you can take away as many as you like from the one row. You win by having the computer remove the last pearl. If you have to remove the last pearl - you lose.
Be warned - it is very difficult!
