Brief Game Summary:
Nine Men's Morris is a strategy board game for two players dating back to the Roman Empire. The board consists of a grid with twenty-four intersections or “points.” Each player starts with nine pieces (one with the light color, and the other the dark). Players try to form “mills” - three of their own pieces on contiguous points in a straight line, vertically or horizontally - allowing a player to remove an opponent's piece from the game. The overall objective being to reduce the number of opponent's pieces to less than three, or to render the opponent unable to play.
