How to playexpand_more
Align 3 pieces to form a "mill" and capture your opponent's pieces. Reduce them to 2 pieces or block all their moves to win.
1. Placement
Each player takes turns placing their 9 pieces on any empty intersection.
2. Movement
Move a piece to an adjacent empty intersection. Click a piece, then click its destination.
3. Mill & capture
When you align 3 pieces on a line, you form a mill and capture an opponent's piece (except those already in a mill, unless all are).
4. Flying
When you have only 3 pieces left, you can move them to any empty intersection.
Winning
You win if your opponent has only 2 pieces left, or can't make a move. Threefold position repetition = draw.

Over 3,400 years ago, someone carved three concentric squares into the stone of the temple of Kurna, in Egypt. It was neither a hieroglyph nor a sacred symbol — it was a game board. The same one you're playing on today.
