About Nine Men’s Morris
Nine Men’s Morris, also called Mill, is one of the oldest board games we know. The board is made of three squares inside each other, joined by lines, and each player has nine pieces. On GameBase the board lies on the iPad between you, and you’re always told what to do next.
First you take turns placing your pieces. If you get three pieces in a row along a line, you’ve made a mill, and you may remove one of your opponent’s pieces. Once all the pieces are placed, you move them along the lines. When a player has only three pieces left, they may fly to any empty spot.
How to play
- Enter your names and choose whether flying with three pieces is allowed.
- Take turns placing your nine pieces. Three in a row along a line is a mill, and then you remove one of your opponent’s pieces.
- Once all the pieces are placed, you move one piece at a time along a line to an empty neighbouring spot.
- You win when your opponent has fewer than three pieces or can’t move any of their pieces.
