zaphod says: i stumbled across something on another website about the game of brussels sprouts. i havent checked to see if its true, but someone said that the game is always over in 5n-1 turns where n is the number of crosses.
if thats the case the only winning/losing strategy would be to put down an odd or even number of crosses, depending on whether you were going first or not.
ha ha...you could really mess with someones mind with that. josie says: Wow. That's really interesting. I'm going to have to play this game some more, and see if that's true!  Humphrey Nowlin says: Eh...okay, I just played two or three games against myself and came up with 5n-2 turns. 
But...I was playing fast...maybe I counted wrong. *shrugs* zaphod says: yah i bet they count the last turn where the guy cant take his turn. that would be 5n-1
