Nine Mens Morris (or MILLS) ...an ancient game from Roman times for 2 players. Introduced by the Romans, Nine Mens Morris is said to be the oldest game in the western hemisphere. It is such a great game! Very strategic, but easy to learn and play. Still very popular in Europe. A Highly recommended 2 person game. Equipment: The game is played on a board consisting of three concentric squares connected by lines from the middle of each of the inner square's sides to the middle of the corresponding outer square's side. Pieces are played on the corner points and on the points where lines intersect. There are 9 pieces each of two different colors Objective: The basic aim of the game is to make "mills" - vertical or horizontal lines of three in a row. Every time this is achieved, an opponent's piece is removed, the overall objective being to reduce the number of opponent's pieces to less than three or to render the opponent unable to play.
