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.
