Kubik-Mühle / 3-way cube

thingiverse

This is a small game I've had on my shelf for about 20 years. Rules: The rules are similar to those of the mill-game and easy to learn. After drawing lots for white and brown, each player receives 32 beads. Now both players take turns trying to build up vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines (either horizontally or vertically). You can cross your opponent's attempts to build mills by placing your beads between theirs in time. As soon as a player has built a mill, they may take away a bead from their opponent. However, it is only allowed to take beads that are directly reachable, meaning those on the top of a pin. If a mill is closed, you cannot take away a bead from this mill. When all beads have been placed, players begin building new mills or opening and closing existing ones by moving their beads. The goal of the game is to take all beads from your opponent, or block theirs in such a way that they can no longer move.
