The number of each player's unused pieces are shown on the left of the board. Note that pieces of a formed mill cannot be removed unless no other pieces are left on the board. Once removed, those pieces cannot be placed onto the board again.
The player who forms a mill can remove one of his opponent's pieces from the board. When 3 pieces of the same color form a horizontal or vertical line, a mill appears. Then the player with black pieces will follow suit, and the two sides take turns to continue the process. When the game starts, the player holding white pieces can click any empty spot to place a piece onto it. The player who has fewer than 3 pieces left or has been immobilized loses the game. The pieces can be placed onto the spots on the board and can be moved among the spots. Each player will be given a set of 9 pieces in black or white color. The board consists of an inner square, a middle square and an outer square, with 8 spots evenly distributed on each of the squares, making a total of 24 spots.

Emerged from the Roman Empire, Nine Men's Morris is an indulging challenge for 2 players. A move is normally from one point to the next in either direction along a line, but the rule is sometimes made that, when a player has only three pieces left, he may move them from any point to any point regardless of the lines. The player who captures all but two of the adverse pieces wins. A mill may be opened by moving one piece off the line returning the same piece to its original position counts as a new mill. Having placed all their counters, the players continue moving alternately, with the same object. On doing so, the player is entitled to remove from the board (capture) one adverse counter, but not one that is in a mill. Two players, each provided with nine counters of a single colour, lay pieces alternately upon the points, the object being to get three in a row (a mill) upon any line. In modern play the diagonal lines of the board are usually omitted. The board is made up of three concentric squares and several transversals, making 24 points of intersection.
