      1913 webster

   note: the figure consists of three concentric squares, with
         lines from the angles of the outer one to those of the
         inner, and from the middle of each side of the outer
         square to that of the inner. the game is played by two
         persons with nine or twelve pieces each hence called
         nine-men's morris or twelve-men's morris. the pieces
         are placed alternately, and each player endeavors to
         prevent his opponent from making a straight row of
         three. should either succeed in making a row, he may
         take up one of his opponent's pieces, and he who takes
         off all of his opponent's pieces wins the game.
