Abstract: In this presentation we investigate a variation of the combinatorial, impartial game of Nim that, in addition to selecting from one of two piles of stones on each turn, also uses a system of divisors to define what selections are possible. We begin with an overview, winning strategies, and a history. For games of Divisor Nim, we determine the amount in each pile, find the proper divisors of each value, and discover new winning strategies for this unique Nim adaptation.
