Lethal Card · Every game against a person counts toward your Lethal Card — one ELO for every game.
Central Europe has played this for centuries and the same thing still decides it: not whoever builds mills, but whoever builds a double mill — two lines sharing a piece that can be opened and closed every single turn. Whoever gets one takes a piece a move.

How to play
- The board has 24 points on three squares joined by lines.
- Each player first places nine pieces, then slides them along a line to an adjacent empty point.
- Closing a mill — three in a row — removes one enemy piece.
- A piece inside a mill is protected unless every enemy piece is in one.
- Down to three pieces you may jump anywhere. Below three, or with no legal move, you lose.
Strategy
- The four-way junctions are the most valuable — more lines and more moves run through them.
- Do not rush to close a mill. Build two half-mills and close them when you have a choice.
- The double mill is the strongest structure in the game. Hold one and you take a piece every turn.
- Take the pieces that give your opponent mobility, not the nearest ones. A player who cannot move has lost.
Frequently asked
Can I take a piece out of a mill?
Not while your opponent has pieces outside one. If every piece they own sits in a mill, you may — without that exception the game would deadlock.
What is flying?
When a player is down to exactly three pieces they may move to any empty point rather than along a line. It gives the losing side a chance to turn things around.
Can a mill be opened and closed again?
Yes, and it is the heart of the tactics. Slide a piece out, slide it back next turn, and take a piece every time it closes.
