Ninepenny: A Classic Strategy Board Game for iPhone
Ninepenny (aka "Nine Men's Morris") is a strategy board game that dates back as far as the Roman Empire. This iPhone game, developed by Brandon Wallace, brings the classic game to your fingertips.
Played by two players, Ninepenny features a grid with twenty-four intersections or points. Each player has nine pieces or "men" colored black and white. The objective of the game is to form "mills" - three of your own men lined horizontally or vertically - which allows you to remove one of your opponent's men from the game. The game continues until one player is reduced to only two pieces or is left without a legal move to make. Ninepenny offers three distinct phases of gameplay. First, players place their men on vacant points on the board. Then, they can move their men to adjacent points. Finally, when a player is reduced to three men, they can move their men to any vacant point on the board.
One of the standout features of Ninepenny is its Online/Multiplayer competition mode, which allows players to compete with people from all over the world. Additionally, there is a "Practice" mode available to help players sharpen their skills. As you progress in the Online Competition mode, you can unlock a range of unique avatars. Can you unlock them all and become the ultimate Ninepenny champion? Ninepenny is a free game available for iPhone users who enjoy classic strategy board games. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, Ninepenny provides an engaging and challenging experience for strategy enthusiasts.
