Global Fibonacci Nim

Combinatorics 2015-09-30 v1

Abstract

Fibonacci nim is a popular impartial combinatorial game, usually played with a single pile of stones. The game is appealing due to its surprising connections with the Fibonacci numbers and the Zeckendorf representation. In this article, we investigate some properties of a variant played with multiple piles of stones, and solve the 2-pile case. A player chooses one of the piles and plays as in Fibonacci nim, but here the move-size restriction is a global parameter, valid for any pile.
