The mill game: three squares one inside another, twenty-four points, nine pieces a side — build a row of three and take one of your opponent's men. Boards survive scratched into stone from Roman times onward, and cut into the cloister benches of Gloucester, Canterbury, and Norwich, where monks and schoolboys played with pebbles; it may be the oldest board game in the world still played for pleasure. This pack's board is drawn complete, with every line joining square to square exactly as the game requires. Inside are three pages: a full-page printable board, a history card, and the complete rules on one card — nine counters a side are all you need. Play it free online in the Games Room, or print it at home on US Letter paper. From the School of Evershade.
