    \(\mathcal{R}\)-Wythoff is a restriction (the ruleset is a subset of the original set of rules) of Wythoff's game introduced by N. B. Ho. Each move is either to remove a positive number of tokens from the larger pile or to remove the same number of tokens from both piles. Note that this game has the same set of \(\mathcal{P}\)-positions as the original Wythoff's game. In this paper, the author computes and characterizes the positions of the game with Sprague-Grundy value \(2\) or \(3\). Then discussions and conjectures about arbitrary values are considered.
