Merels
An addictive strategy game.
I have been really enjoying this Roman game. It is a bit difficult to understand at first but then it is great fun!
Try and get your counters in a row of 3 - that is called a "Mill". If you do that you can take an opponent's piece. You can only move along the lines and one space at a time. If you have 2 or less pieces you have lost.
