Nine Mens Morris

Nine Mens Morris is a classic board game.

Each of the two players has nine pieces,

which they put alternately on any free point of the game board.

The game proceeds in three phases:

1.Placing pieces on empty points.

2.Moving pieces to adjacent points.

3.Moving pieces to any empty point when a player has only three pieces left.

If a player gets three pieces in a line - a mill,

he removes one of the opponent's pieces from the game board.

A player has lost, if he has only two pieces left or

if he is not able to make a move with one of his pieces.
