Game basics

Place all your pieces (MEN) on board and aim to move them to form a line of 3 pieces (a MILL).

Once you form a mill, you can remove one of your opponent’s men. Break a mill to unlock the mills gain. Pieces from a formed mill can’t be removed unless no other men are available. Your aim is to leave your opponent with either 2 pieces or zero moves left.

Good luck!
