About
Dhadi is a free-to-play digital adaptation of one of the oldest strategy games in the world — known globally as Nine Men's Morris, and across South Asia as Navakankari. Played for over 3,000 years across India, Egypt, and Rome, Dhadi challenges two players to outthink, outplace, and outmaneuver each other on a classic three-square board.
How to Play
Place your 9 pieces on the board, form a Dhadi — three in a row — and capture your opponent's pieces. Once all pieces are placed, slide them along the lines to form new Dhadi and keep capturing. Reduce your opponent to fewer than 3 pieces, or leave them with no legal move, to win.
Three Ways to Play
