Battle Mill is a strategic board game that puts your tactical skills to the test. In this game, each player controls nine unique pieces that add up to 57 points. Start by arranging your pieces on a board with 24 nodes, including 4 safe zones where pieces cannot be attacked. Once positioned, players take turns moving their pieces to adjacent nodes to attack opponents, remove enemy pieces, or reduce their points. Each game begins with 14 moves per player: moving to an empty node uses a move, while successfully removing an opponent’s piece earns an extra move. Battle Mill features four play modes: local play with friends, global online matches, challenging AI opponents, and offline play. With its mix of strategic planning and tactical manoeuvres, Battle Mill offers a clear, engaging experience for board game enthusiasts. Experience a game of careful planning and competitive skill with Battle Mill.
