German version of 9 Men's Morris.
 
Object: Reduce your opponent to only two pieces or achieve a position where he can't move.
 
If you get three of your pieces in a row along a line then you have formed a `mill` and you can capture (`pound`) any one of your opponent's pieces that is not also in a mill.
 
Each player begins with 9 pieces off the board. Place your twelve pieces on vacant points on the board, alternating turns with your opponent. Once all the pieces have been placed, move a single step along any line.
 
You may jump when you have only 3 pieces left!
You may never capture a piece that is part of a mill!
 
In variants 2 and 3, when your opponent's pieces are in mills, you may take any piece.
In variants 3 and 4 there are no jumps.
 
Note that the 9-Men's-Morris on the original Zillions CD does not allow you to jump, and it allows you to take pieces from mills if all your opponent's pieces are in mills. The jumps make the powers more balanced.
