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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDownload Nine Men's Morris Instructions \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/3291\/4558\/files\/Nine-Mens-Morris.pdf?v=1778153621\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Nine Men's Morris Game Instructions\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jesters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57229983678846,"sku":"rnd9MM","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/3291\/4558\/files\/9mm.jpg?v=1775746084","url":"https:\/\/jesters.com\/products\/nine-men-s-morris-traditional-round-wooden-board-game","provider":"Jesters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
