Multiplayer Nine Men's Morris Screenshot

Defeat your opponent by driving his pieces away in one of the earliest board games in recorded history! Emerged from the Roman Empire, Nine Men's Morris is an indulging game for two players.

If a player cannot do so, he loses the game. A mill can also be formed if 3 pieces of the same color draw a straight line after moving.
