There is an old game that I learned back in my home country when I was a child but the name escapes me. When teaching it to my students, I call it 'dash' whose meaning will be obvious.
Setup the 'game board' as follows: Row 1: 1 dash, Row 2: 3 dashes, Row 3: 5 dashes, and Row 4: 7 dashes

The requirements of the game are simple:
Each player takes turns circling any amount they like in any row.
Each player must circle at least 1 not-circled dash on their turn.
A player does can circle dashes that are not adjacent.
The player may not circle dashes in more than one row in a single turn.
The last player to circle a dash is the loser.
Is the advantage for the first player or second player or is this a fair game?
