About the game
Nine Men’s Morris, the old board game also called Mill. Three pieces in a line make a mill and take one of your opponent’s pieces.
Nine men's morris, also called mill, is one of the oldest board games, played on three nested squares joined by lines. Each player first places nine pieces and then moves them along the lines. Three pieces in a row form a mill, and every mill lets you remove one opposing piece.
