Nine Men's Morris Twitch Overlay

Two viewers at the morris board, one stake, the winner takes the whole pot.

The classic mill game, internationally Nine Men's Morris, as a chat-driven Twitch overlay. Two viewers play the full rule set against each other without either of them learning a command: naming the spot in chat is enough, A4 does it.

What this overlay does

// In short

Three thousand years old and still the best trap two viewers can set for each other. On a warm wooden morris board with three nested squares the two play the full rule set. First the placing phase: each in turn brings their nine men onto the board by simply typing the spot into chat, an A4 is enough, the long command is optional. Once all men are placed, the moving phase begins, in which men travel along the lines to free neighbouring spots. Whoever gets three of their own men in a line closes a mill and may capture an opponent's man, while men in an opponent's mill are protected. An open double mill that closes alternately on every move is the strongest weapon in the game. If a player drops to three men, they may jump freely to any free spot. Whoever reduces the opponent to two men or blocks them completely wins. Both pay a stake at the start, the winner takes the doubled pot, and a turn clock makes sure no one ponders forever. A coordinate ruler along the edge with letters and numbers shows everyone exactly what their spot is called, glossy pieces and engraved lines make the board feel premium, and a short MILL plaque celebrates every closed mill. Runs with internal points with no bot at all, an optional payout goes through your loyalty bot. Survives any OBS reload, the running match is kept.
