The players take turns placing one peg at a time in any hole on the board. Our playing pieces have a tactile dot on one set of pegs. The board begins empty, and the two players each use nine pegs of their own color. It is the best of the so-called row-of-three games, the simplest of which is, of course, Tic-Tac-Toe. The game has been and continues to be popular in many countries. The board pattern has been found on ancient Egyptian roofing tiles, Roman and Greek buildings, an English wall dating from 1200, and even choir stalls in old English cathedrals. Nine Men's Morris, or Mill, is one of the oldest board games known. It's an excellent game for enhancing logic and problem solving skills! Nine Men's Morris can be described as Tic-tac-toe taken to the next level. This historic strategy game has a very familiar ring: three in a row. To move your pieces in the game, click and drag the piece you want to move unto the piece you wish to take even if you'll be moving away from that piece as the game understands that you can't move towards a piece that you're right next to, so it will know to move you away and take the piece that you were trying to take.Directions courtesy of Future Aids, The Braille Superstore. In that example, I moved the piece at a1 (the bottom left corner) to a2 (up one) which took out the pieces on a3,4, and 5. An example of a move would be a1-a2 x a3, a4, a5. Each line is that exact series of events so if you see multiple lines under white or black, each line was a different move in a combo. The move log explains where the piece started, then where it moved to, then what pieces it took. It may seem hard to read at first but it's very simple. The way the move log interprets the game board is that the horizontal row is alphabetical, A through I, and the vertical row is numerical, 1-5. Early on, it's hard to tell exactly what moves the computer is making and it moves almost instantly so you'll want to check the move log, I'll explain how the move log works in the next paragraph. Make sure he goes first on your xbox and then copy every move he makes on the computer version. In the computer game, you move the white pieces which will be Achilles in AC3. Second: go to "options" and make sure that human plays white pieces, computer plays black, white pieces start at top of board, white moves first, check algebraic notation, long move log format, and multiple captures on first move ok. There is a bit of setup you have to go through before you play the game so I'd like to explain that before posting the link, you'll understand everything that I'm about to say once you're looking at the game.įirst: go to "level" and check "Three-ply fixed depth search" and click "OK". Link is at bottom of post but I recommend reading what I've written as it explains how to setup the game correctly. The main reason I'm posting here right now though is that after finding this topic, I found a topic over on where member dawngalneryus posted a link to a java based Fanorona game which can be used in the same manner as you used the Nine Mens Morris game and I wanted to share the link to that since Fanorona seems to be the hardest game to win. Edited Novemby Ctrl Alt DefeatĪwesome! I haven't used this yet but I definitely will. If you guys have any ideas on how the explanation could be clearer, let me know. If you have any questions please ask them, for I suck at explaining things like this. Then whatever move the web game's AI makes on the web game board using RED, YOU move on the AC3 board using BLACK. In even simpler terms: Every move AC3 AI makes, (WHITE always moves first) YOU MOVE on the web game board using BLUE. So when the AI on the web game board moves, YOU will move your pieces on the AC3 board the exact way the AI on the web game board did, giving you the advantage. Choose to go second.ģ) On the flash game, choose the 'VII' difficulty, which should be smarter than the AI in AC3.Ĥ) The moves that the AI makes on AC3 board will be the moves YOU play on the web game's board. This seems to work most of the time, I've played the computer five times and won all five times.ġ) Go to: or Google 'Nine Mens morris web game.' (1st Link)Ģ) Start Nine Men's Morris in AC3. This was only game I needed for 'Original Gamer' so I was getting frustrated.
