Dude, some directions on how to play this would've been apreciated. Game looks ok but I have no idea how to play it!
Nine Men's Morris is a strategy board game for two players that emerged from the Roman Empire. The game is also known as Nine Man Morris, Mill, Mills, The Mill Game, Merels, Merrills, Merelles, Marelles, and Morelles in English. The game has also been called Cowboy Checkers and was once printed on the back of checkerboards. Nine Men's Morris is a solved game in which either player can force the game into a draw.
The target of the game is to eighter remove 7 stones from the enemy or make it impossible for him to move. To remove a stone from your enemy, you have to place three stones in a row
In the first phase of the game, the players are taking turns in placing nine stones on the board. After all stones are placed, the players take turns in moving their stones. A stone can only be moved by one field along the lines.
When a Player only has two stones left, he can jump across the whole board with his stones.

Currenty a complete rewrite of the game is planned, in order to improve the intelligence of the computer.
