Merels - Nine Men's Morris

Place your men where the lines meet, line up three, and take one of your opponent's. The rules take five minutes. Everything after that is the game. ■ On your own Eight opponents, each with its own temperament. The first only just learned the rules; not many people reach the last. Beat one to unlock the next. ■ Daily puzzle One position a day: find the win in a few moves. Difficulty follows the day of the week, and solved days count as a streak. Two years of them ship inside the app, so it works offline, and past days stay open. ■ Two players Pass one device back and forth. No network needed. ■ Online Tap Quick match and you are paired with whoever chose the same time control. Playing a friend instead? Make a private room and send them the six digits. Afterwards, play again and the colours swap for the second game. ■ Learn the rules Five short lessons. Your opponent never replies, so take your time. ■ Two looks Minimal and Wood. Switch in Settings whenever you like. ■ What is not in it No ads, no tracking, no chat. None of it. Linking an account sits in Settings, is optional, and changes nothing you can play. ■ Accessibility VoiceOver reads the whole board. Honours Reduce Motion and Dynamic Type. Drawn so meaning survives without colour, in dark mode, and at readable contrast.
