Chomp
Chomp is a two-player strategy game played on a rectangular grid of squares, representing a chocolate bar. Players take turns removing a section of the bar by "biting" into it, which means removing a chosen square and all squares below and to the right of it. The goal is to avoid being the one to take the last piece, often considered the "poisoned" or special bottom-left square. Chomp illustrates concepts of combinatorial game theory, where players analyze possible moves to strategize and avoid losing positions, making it a fascinating example of mathematical reasoning in game design.
