Pirate's Booty on Mississippi River

The Pearls Before Swine game is a game of "NIM", a two-player mathematical game of strategy in which players take turns removing objects (pearls in this case) from distinct heaps.

A normal play game may start with heaps of 3, 4 and 5 objects:

Nim has been mathematically solved for any number of initial heaps and objects; that is, there is an easily-calculated way to determine which player will win and what winning moves are open to that player. In a game that starts with heaps of 3, 4, and 5, the first player will win with optimal play, whether the misère or normal play convention is followed.
