NekonyancerWelcome to [blue]*Nine Men's Morris*[/blue], an abstract game that, according to Wikipedia, is *older than the Roman Empire!*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerThere are two phases in this game. *Phase 1:* Players take turns placing their nine checkers on the board, one at a time. *Phase 2:* Players move their checkers to adjacent spots, one at a time.2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerIn both phases, players try to form *rows of three,* called [blue]*mills.*[/blue] When you form a mill, you can *remove* an opponent's checker from the board!3archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
NekonyancerLooks like our opponent placed their first checker here.4stone_1000stone_1 6
NekonyancerJust like in Tic-Tac-Toe, we want to stop our opponent from getting 3 in a row, so let's place our checker here! *Click to place a checker.*5location_2_4010location_2_4 16
NekonyancerOur opponent now has *two in a row.* Again, the main goal is to form rows of 3, so we have to go... well, you can probably guess, right? *Click in the appropriate spot to place a checker.*1location_7_462105da49d09f11stone_1 6 stone_2 6
NekonyancerGreat job! We blocked their potential *mill* (row of three). Let's skip forward a few turns...1stone_1162105e58434a000
NekonyancerWe've got our opponent on the back foot now. *Put a checker here to seal their fate!*1location_2_66210741d8802610location_2_6 16
NekonyancerThe opponent saw that they couldn't stop us from getting a *mill*, so instead of blocking, they tried to set up a mill of their own.1location_7_462107d3d7a4d801stone_10 7 stone_3 6 stone_13 7 stone_5 6 stone_14 7 stone_6 6
NekonyancerWe can take care of that. First, let's finish our *mill!* *Click here!*2location_2_262107d3d7a4d810location_2_2 16
NekonyancerNow we get to remove an enemy checker from the board! *They never get this checker back!* We need to make sure they can't make their own *mill* next turn. Which one should we remove? *Click on the correct checker to remove it!*1location_7_1621084bb548b511
NekonyancerGreat job! This game is definitely going our way. Let's skip forward a bit.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment621084be7b76100
NekonyancerWe've each placed 9 checkers, so it's time for *Phase 2!* In this phase, players can move checkers to adjacent spots, still with the goal of making mills.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62110c4a9ad0000
NekonyancerOur opponent should not have vacated that spot at the bottom. *Move our bottom-left checker to the right to make another mill!*1ab75f718-da17-4a49-8cb1-34f0e295b6a362110cd57b76810
NekonyancerWe just made another mill! *Click on the white checker in the bottom-right corner to remove it.*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62110cdcbf0e910stone_12 6 stone_13 6 stone_16 6
NekonyancerFrom here, we can keep moving that bottom checker back and forth, and every time it comes back into alignment, it re-establishes a mill and removes a checker. Once our opponent is down to 2 checkers, *we win!*1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment62110dd0aa83600location_7_7 14 stone_12 6 stone_13 6 90a49992-9f75-484a-897d-b82abc685bc1 9
