The Sprague-Grundy theorem states that every impartial combinatorial game under the normal play convention is equivalent to a (unique) nimber.

What does the equivalence relation thus defined tells us about a certain game? What are some specific uses of the theorem (besides making the calculation of N and P positions easier)?
