It is easy to learn and has more depth than it looks, which is why it has lasted so long. It is filed under Board Game on this site, and a game on a phone works just as well.
Nine Mens Morris rules
Take turns placing pieces on the points of the board. Line up three in a row and you form a mill, which in the classic rules lets you remove one of your opponent's pieces. When all pieces are placed, players move them along the lines. You win when your opponent is down to two pieces or has no legal moves.
Morris strategy tips
- Grab the points where several lines cross.
- Don't place all your pieces on the outer square.
- Build positions where one move can open and close a mill again and again.
