【Unused】Nine Men's Morris by Troika

This is the Nine Men's Morris board game, crafted by Germany's Troika company, made of glass and chrome.

Its luxurious and highly designed appearance makes it a wonderful interior decoration even when not in use for play. This model is no longer in production. I received it about 10 years ago and it has been stored completely unused. The box shows some scratches and scuffs. The game itself is unused and in excellent condition. Please only purchase if you understand that this is a home-stored item.

[Game Contents]
Nine Men's Morris is one of the oldest board games in the world. In Japan, it is known as a more complex version of Tic-Tac-Toe. It is a two-player strategy game.
• Pieces (figures): There are 9 cow-shaped pieces and 9 bear-shaped pieces.
• Objective: To win by reducing the opponent's pieces to two remaining or by blocking their movement.

[How to Play]
1. Placement Phase:
Players take turns placing one of their pieces on an empty circular point (intersection) on the board.
2. Movement Phase:
Once all pieces have been placed, players take turns moving one of their pieces one step along a line to an adjacent empty point.
3. Forming a Mühle (Mill):
When three of your pieces are aligned in a straight line, either vertically or horizontally, you form a Mühle. Each time you complete a Mühle, you can remove one of your opponent's pieces from the board.

*Special Rule: Jump
When you have only three pieces remaining, you can jump your piece to any empty spot on the board, regardless of the lines, giving you a final chance to turn the tables.
