Nine Men's Morris

Place nine pieces, make a line of three to capture, then slide or fly to finish the game.

Gold outlines show available actions. Select one of your pieces, then a marked empty point. The board scrolls sideways on narrow phones.

How to play
  1. Take turns putting your nine pieces on empty points. When both players have placed all nine, slide along a board line to the next open point.
  2. Make a straight line of three (a mill) to remove an opponent piece. A piece already in a mill is protected while they have one outside a mill.
  3. With exactly three pieces left, you may fly to any empty point. You lose with only two pieces or with no legal move. Fifty sliding moves without a capture are a draw.

With a friend, pass the screen between turns. Controls support touch, mouse, keyboard and TV remote focus. The game stores nothing and sends nothing to a server.
