The game in one paragraph

Each player has nine pieces. You take turns placing them on the board's twenty-four points, then sliding them along the lines. Line up three of your own pieces along a marked line and you have made a mill — remove one of your opponent's pieces. Reduce them to two pieces, or leave them with no legal move, and you win.
