Nine Men's Morris
Nine Mens Morris is the grown-up version of 3 in a row played by 2 persons. It is a famous board game at least 2000 years old. Picture below was from a Spanish games book.
The game is played on a board 
consisting of three concentric squares connected by lines from the middle of each of the inner square's sides to the middle of the corresponding outer square's side. Holes are located in the 24 intersections and corner pointing where pegs can be inserted. Both players play with 9 Pegs each of a distinguishing color.
The basic aim of Nine Mens Morris is to make "mills" - vertical or horizontal lines of three in a row. Every time this is achieved, an opponent's piece is removed, the overall objective being to reduce the number of opponent's pegs to less than three or to render the opponent unable to play.
To begin with the board is empty
Play is in two phases. To begin with, players take turns to play inserting a peg of their own colour on any unoccupied point until all eighteen pegs have been played. After that, play continues alternately but each turn consists of a player moving one pegalong a line to an adjacent point.
During both of these phases, whenever a player achieves a mill, that player immediately removes from the board one peg belonging to the opponent that does not form part of a mill. If all the opponents pieces form mills then an exception is made and the player is allowed to remove any peg . It is only upon the formation of a mill that a peg is captured but a player will often break a mill by moving a peg out of it and then, in a subsequent turn, play the peg back again, thus forming a new mill and capturing another peg.
In the paper version we play with a drawn diagram and coloured discs cut out of cardboard.
