Mill Nine Mens Morris

🎮 How to Play

Mill Nine Mens Morris is a classic strategy board game where two players compete to form "mills" (three of their pieces in a row). The game unfolds in three phases:
1. Placement: Take turns placing your 9 pieces on the board’s 24 intersections.
2. Movement: Once all pieces are placed, slide them along the lines to create new mills.
3. Removal: Forming a mill lets you remove an opponent’s piece. Win by reducing their pieces to 2 or blocking their moves. Strategize to control the board while disrupting your rival’s plans!

🕹️ Controls

• Mouse (Desktop): Click to place pieces, drag to move them.
• Touchscreen (Mobile): Tap to place, swipe or drag to move.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Use arrow keys (if supported) to navigate the board.
• Undo/Reset: Look for on-screen buttons to undo moves or restart the game.

🎯 Objectives

Your goal is to outmaneuver your opponent by forming mills and removing their pieces. Short-term, focus on creating multiple mills to eliminate their tokens efficiently. Long-term, aim to trap their remaining pieces or block all movement options. Victory comes when your opponent has only 2 pieces left or can’t make a legal move. Master positioning and anticipation to dominate the board!
