玩法
- Choose who goes first and which board variant (Nine or Twelve), then start the match.
- Placing phase: taking turns, each player places one of their pieces onto an open intersection.
- Once both sides have placed all their pieces, the moving phase begins — move one of your pieces to an adjacent open intersection.
- Line up three of your pieces in a row to form a "mill," then remove one of your opponent's pieces from the board.
- The match ends the moment your opponent is down to two pieces, or can no longer move.
怎样获胜
You win the moment your opponent is down to two pieces or fewer, or has no legal move left.
小技巧
- You can break a mill by moving a piece out, then move it right back to re-form it and capture again — watch for opponents setting up this pattern.
- Even down to three pieces, "flying" — moving to any open point on the board — can turn the game around, so don't let your guard down until the very end.
常见问题
- What board variants are there?
- Two: "Nine" (the default — 9 pieces each, 16 possible mills) and "Twelve" (12 pieces each, with diagonal corner connections adding up to 20 possible mills).
- What is "flying"?
- A rule that kicks in once you're down to just 3 pieces: you can then move any of your pieces to any open intersection on the board, ignoring adjacency.
- Can you capture any piece you want?
- Under standard rules, you must capture from outside your opponent's mills. You can only take a piece from inside a mill when all of your opponent's remaining pieces are inside mills.
