Description

NINE MEN'S MORRIS

Each player has nine pieces, or "men", which move among the board's twenty-four spots. The object of the game is to leave the opposing player with fewer than
three pieces or, as in checkers, no legal moves.

Placing the pieces:

The game begins with an empty board. Players take turns placing their pieces on empty spots. If a player is able to form a row of three pieces along one of the board's lines,
he has a "mill" and may remove one of his opponent's pieces from the board; removed pieces may not be placed again. Players must remove any other pieces first before
removing a piece from a formed mill. Once all eighteen pieces have been used, players take turns moving.

Moving the pieces:

To move, a player slides one of his pieces along a board line to an empty adjacent spot. If he cannot do so, he has lost the game.
As in the placement stage, a player who aligns three of his pieces on a board line has a mill and may remove one of his opponent's pieces, avoiding the removal of
pieces in mills if at all possible.
Any player reduced to two pieces is unable to remove any more opposing pieces and thus loses the game.

Pretty Good

First, I have to say that the people who say that the computer cheats are either idiots or have not played the game before. It plays exactly to the rules of 9 Men's Morris. However, the app does crash a lot, but the gameplay itself if very fun.

Needs work

Overall really enjoy it, very stimulating as far as strategy games go. One bad thing is it turns off audio apps that are running as soon as you move a piece, very annoying. This happens with the Apple music app & third party stuff like Overcast. Also, whenever you move your piece the computer moves in like a tenth of a second or less. Its impossible to actually see so you have to look over the entire board to find their move.
