About Nine Mens Morris
Few board games are older or more satisfying than this one. Nine Mens Morris is a two-player strategy contest where the aim is to form rows of three of your pieces, then press your advantage until your opponent has only two pieces left or cannot move at all.
You can play against the computer for practice or against a friend when you want a real rivalry. It looks quiet, but every placement shapes what you can do later, so it rewards patient thinking. The layout is tall, which suits a phone, and a mouse works just as well on a computer.

Tips for Nine Mens Morris
