Merrills
Keywords: Variant
Merrills is a fun tactical game. It is very old, and has lots of different names, including Mill and the well-known Nine Men's Morris. Due to horizontal and vertical movement of counters on line intersections, Merrills has in common with Go the idea of liberties. It is interesting to speculate whether Merrills shares a common heritage or connection with Go -- although admittedly this does seem unlikely.
