How to play

Each side has 9 pieces. Make a "mill": three of your pieces in a straight line along a line of the board. Each mill lets you remove one of your opponent's pieces.
You can't remove a piece that is in a mill unless every one of their pieces is in a mill.
Phase 1: take turns placing your pieces on empty points. Phase 2: once all are placed, slide a piece along a line to an empty neighbouring point.
When a player is down to 3 pieces, they can "fly": move any piece to any empty point.
You lose when you are reduced to 2 pieces, or when you can't move. The same position three times in a row is a draw.
