    Description

    The Game of Sim is a paper and pencil game played by two players, Red and Blue, using six dots ('vertices') arranged in a hexagon. Players alternately draw a line between two dots. The first player to draw a triangle of their color between three dots loses.

    The game cannot end in a tie. 15 moves is the maximum. If the game actually lasts 15 moves then the loser will actually complete two triangles at once!

    An electronic version is available at: https://wideaperture.net/sim/.
