Talk:Three men's morris

Er - hum... Is it correct that 8 pieces are used, 4 each? I really think only 6 pieces are used, 3 each (and the players are allowed to move them once all have been placed). I checked the history, and...I'm the one who added this info. I just don't remeber where I got it from. (Note: The info is repeated in the article Tic-tac-toe.)

I also added the ethymological link to Morris dance; I've now added an alternative theory I found in a Danish book on boardgames. --Niels Ø 10:18, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Unless there is some kind of answer here on the 8-or-6 issue, one of these days I'm goind to change it from 8 to 6 in the main article.

Finally, I have removed the following dictionnary material from the Alternative names section:

• Akidada (Nigeria)
• Chikkiri (Japan)
• Driesticken (Netherlands)
• Dris ath-thalatha (Arab countries)
• Jara-badakh (Somalia)
• Kleines Mühlenspiel (Germany)
• Les Pendus (France)
• Neunermühle (Germany)
• San-noku-narabe (Japan)
• Tre-guti (India)
• Trip trap trul (Lower Saxony)
• Trilha (Brazil)
• Nerenchi (Ceylon)
• Bondesjakk (“peasant’s chess”) (Norwegian)

Number of pieces

The article mentions that players place their pieces. But how many pieces does each player have? 2001:9E8:65FD:8200:BD3A:CAF6:6849:D8B1 (talk) 06:49, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
