Nine Men's Morris is a strategic board game for two players that dates back to the Roman Empire. The game is also known as morris, mill, mills, miller's game, merel, merrills, merelles, marelles, morelles...
The goal of each player is to drag his pieces around the board and try to make a combination with three pieces called Mlin. When a successful 'mill' occurs, the player has the right to take one opponent's figure from the board. In the end, the winner is the player whose pieces remained on the board.
How to play mill?
In the placement phase, two players take turns placing their pieces on an empty board. The eight intersections of the squares serve as storage points. After both players have placed their nine pieces, the movement phase of the game begins. At the same time, each player is allowed to move his pieces from one intersection to the next. However, the intersection points you want to move to must be free of other pieces. And in this phase, the two players alternate moves and it is pointed out which of them knows better how to play the mill. When a player forms a mill, he can take one of his opponent's pieces from the board. The end of the game comes as soon as one of the following scenarios occurs. A player has less than three pieces on the board (this player has lost).
