Advanced Mill brings the strategy of Nine Men's Morris to the digital age. Place your pieces, form 'mills' of three in a row, and remove your opponent's pieces until you emerge victorious. With multiple AI difficulty levels and a local two-player mode, it's a perfect way to enjoy one of history's oldest and most strategic board games.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Advanced Mill is a solid, no-frills digital version of the ancient game 'Nine Men’s Morris.' For fans of traditional board games, this is a breath of fresh air. The AI is surprisingly formidable—it’s excellent at setting up double-mills (the 'see-saw' strategy) that can wipe out your pieces in just a few turns.
The UI is clean and traditional, which fits the 3,000-year-old history of the game. I particularly appreciated the 'Move Suggestions' feature, which is a great way for beginners to learn the offensive and defensive patterns. While it doesn't have the bells and whistles of a modern strategy title, its focus on pure, unadulterated logic makes it a perfect brain-training app.

Tips & Walkthrough
During the first phase, focus on placing your pieces in the corners and intersections of the middle square. This gives you the most mobility once the 'moving' phase begins.
Gameplays
The best strategy is to set up two mills where you can move a single piece back and forth to complete a mill on every single turn. This is nearly impossible for the opponent to stop.

Q&A
A mill is formed by placing three of your pieces in a straight line along the board's grid, allowing you to remove one of your opponent's pieces.

Sat Sep 20 2014 AndrasRI like the game. I used to play this with my grandparents all the time. I wish the computer player would be a little harder to beat.
No undo in two player mode
Sun Jul 17 2011 AnakinhelmetIt is very frustrating not to have the undo feature in two player mode, especially since in this app it is hard to place the pieces accurately at times.
