How to play

Nine Men's Morris is a strategic duel for two people. The aim is to place three of your own pieces in a row to form a mill. Whoever does this removes one of the opponent's pieces. Pieces are first placed in turn, then moved along the lines. Once a player has only three pieces left, they may jump to any free point. The winner is whoever blocks the opponent or reduces them to two pieces. A game that builds concentration and fascinates every time.
