100

This is a two-player game. The first player selects a number between 1 and 6, inclusive. To this number the second player adds a number from 1 through 6. The players continue to alternately increase the current sum, each by adding a number from 1 through 6. The first player to achieve the exact sum 100 wins. What is a good strategy? Who will win?
