This is a clone of a very well known game. You have a grid of 24 spots, 12 corners and 12 crossings and you and your opponent each have 9 pieces. The object is to either removing 7 of the opponents pieces or blocking him completely during the moving phase. The way to remove a piece is to form a "mill" which is 3 of your color in a row.

There are 3 phases to the game, the first is moving, in which you put your nine men out on the grid, and form a mill if you can. The second phase is moving the pieces, which can only be moved to an adjacent spot, if there is no available spot then that piece is blocked. The third phase is when someone gets only 3 pieces left, then he can move to any spot on the grid, but your opponent getting a mill will automatically win. At this point the only thing you can do is try to take out enough pieces. 

There are 3 board designs, classic, or toyland. There is a tutorial, a classic game and an arcade game. The arcade game plays a set number of round, best of how ever many you pick. You can play against the computer, another human, or on the internet and you can set the difficulty level. With the extra features this means this game will stay interesting that much longer.
