The board consists of a grid with twenty-four intersections. Each player has nine playing pieces. Players try to form 'mills'—three of their own pieces lined horizontally or vertically, allowing a player to remove an opponent's player from the game. A player wins by reducing the opponent to two pieces (where they could no longer form mills and thus be unable to win), or by leaving them without a legal move. Also known as nine-man morris, mill, mills, the mill game, merels, merrills, merelles, marelles, morelles and ninepenny marl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jesters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536795345278,"sku":"40cm9MM","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/3291\/4558\/files\/Nine-Mens-Morris-2.jpg?v=1781188228","url":"https:\/\/jesters.com\/products\/40cm-wooden-nine-mens-morris-board-game","provider":"Jesters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
