Nov 5, 2014 at 21:49 comment added Zack Wolske The game on a rectangular or triangular board is called "Two-Dimensional Nim" by Aviezri Fraenkel in "The Lighter Side of Mathematics: Proceedings of the Eugène Strens Memorial Conference." Fraenkel organized combinatorial game displays at the conference, and suggested the $3 \times 5$ board as a good one to play. It is not the same game as the one called "Two-Dimensional Nim" in Winning Ways. Some results are given without proof by Jim Ferry at the discussion groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sci.math/-EHfgnl74_0
