What is "mill"?

Mill, also known as Nine Men's Morris, is an ancient two-player strategy board game played on a board with a grid of 24 spaces, forming a series of rows and columns. Each player starts with nine pieces, and the objective is to form "mills" by placing three of their pieces in a row, either horizontally or vertically. When a mill is formed, the player can remove one of the opponent’s pieces from the board. Players take turns moving their pieces to nearby spaces, and the game proceeds until one player has only two pieces left or cannot make a legal move. The game requires both strategy and planning to outmaneuver the opponent.
