Mother of nine

Nine game (and sometimes called the Arabic Dama or Nine) from the popular old games known in several Arab countries.🔹 Description of the game: • Usually played on a drawn board on the ground or on wood, consisting of three overlapping squares, connected by straight lines at the midpoints of the sides. • Each player has nine stones (usually of two different colors: like black and white). • Players start by placing their stones alternately on the points of the board until the stones run out. • The main goal is to form a line of three stones in a row on a straight line (called "mill" or "three"). • If a player achieves a three, they have the right to remove a stone from the opponent's stones. • After all stones are placed, players start moving them along the connected lines on the board, trying to form more three-in-a-rows. • The game continues until one player has fewer than three stones or cannot move, and is considered the loser.🔹 Features of the game: • Relies more on intelligence and planning than luck. • An old heritage game played for entertainment and challenge between adults and children.
