We´ll describe two games for the Apple iPad that are based on recent results from the mathematics of combinatorial game theory, and how we developed them. Along the way, we´ll take occasional forays into French film noir and the surprisingly intricate theory of "impartial" Tic-Tac-Toe (both players play "X", and the first person to make three-in-a-row loses). No prior knowledge of any of these subjects will be assumed.
