NINE MENS MORRIS

Each player has nine pieces, or "men", which move among the boards twenty-four spots. The object of the game is to leave the opposing player with fewer than
three pieces or, as in checkers, no legal moves.

Placing the pieces:

The game begins with an empty board. Players take turns placing their pieces on empty spots. If a player is able to form a row of three pieces along one of the boards lines,
he has a "mill" and may remove one of his opponents pieces from the board; removed pieces may not be placed again. Players must remove any other pieces first before
removing a piece from a formed mill. Once all eighteen pieces have been used, players take turns moving.

Moving the pieces:

To move, a player slides one of his pieces along a board line to an empty adjacent spot. If he cannot do so, he has lost the game.
As in the placement stage, a player who aligns three of his pieces on a board line has a mill and may remove one of his opponents pieces, avoiding the removal of
pieces in mills if at all possible.
Any player reduced to two pieces is unable to remove any more opposing pieces and thus loses the game.

Unfortunate
The game crashes every time you force the ai into losing situation.
For me, it crashes with every single move I make. Lol.
I place a checker? Crash. I move a checker? Crash. I remove one ??? Crash. I crash?? Crash.
Dont bother
Tried it for two minutes. The game crashed twice. Deleted.
Keeps Crashing
Good interface on a game my grandfather taught me as a child on a home-made board using stones and white kidney beans. But it keeps crashing. And crashing. And crashing. Especially on harder difficulties when it is faced with a situation where there is no right move. Dont bother.
App crashes when you win.
This was a good app but it crashed before it let me finish hard with a winning move.
