The players determine who plays first, then take turns placing their men one per play on empty points. The game proceeds in three phases: Placing men on vacant points Moving men to adjacent points(optional phase) Moving men to any vacant point when the player has been reduced to three men A player wins by reducing the opponent to two pieces (where he could no longer form mills and thus be unable to win), or by leaving him without a legal move. Players try to form 'mills'-three of their own men lined horizontally or vertically-allowing a player to remove an opponent's man from the game. Each player has nine pieces, or "men", usually coloured black and white. The board consists of a grid with twenty-four intersections or points.
The normal board is square whereas mine is circular, however the rules still hold true, my board just makes the game a little more interesting. I did not want to re-invent the wheel by recreating rules from memory, so I have taken this version from a single source and not wising to be accused of plagiarism that source is Wikipedia the link to the original article is 's_Morris. When cutting the corners of to make the disk try to remove as much as possible - this helps with the turning and also makes it a bit safer to turn (less pointy corners to catch your fingers on), as well as improving the initial balance on the lathe. I then cut the disk out on the band saw and drilled an 8mm hole in the middle which would later be used to mount the disk on the screw chuck of my lathe. The approximate location for a decorative center piece.I marked the center of the peace followed by 5 circles, the distances were approximately equal and marked the positions of: I cut a square on the band saw large enough to give a circle of about 30cms when trimmed and turned. The board would be made from re-cycled material, in this case part of an old table top. I wanted to use the lathe to make the board so here was the first change to the game - Mine would be a round board. The original game was played on a square board using some form of marker, normally a disk, to identify the players pieces.
