The game Got It is a version of a well known old favourite called Nim.
It is an adding game for two. You play against the computer or against a friend.

Start with a target of $23$. Set the range of available numbers from $1$ to $5$.
Players take turns to add a whole number from $1$ to $5$ to the running total.

The player who hits the target of $23$ wins the game.
