Great Pastime Game

Version 1.7 works fine for me. I like that the AI has an easy level so I can quickly just play the game for fun.

I enjoy Marelorum type of games. In fact, I wrote a book about them.

Nine Mens Morris variant was reconstructed about a hundred years ago by a famous researcher named Murray. Murray is not historically accurate but it is better than nothing. See king Alphonso's Book of Games for the correct rules for this Marelorum.

(Or see my book, "Dukes & Counts" for the correct rules derivation of this and dozens of ancient games whose rules are still often thought lost to history by modern scholars. Marelorum (merels/mills, terni lapilli), Ursalorum (bear hunting or wrestling), Calculorum (draughts, dames), Latrunculorum (latrones, tafls, alea evangelii), Schachorum (chess, damsels, jiang qi), backgammons, Petteia, Poleis, Polis, royal game of Ur, Stomachion, and many others are axiomatically derived from historical evidence.)
