Rules of play:
Each player has nine pieces, or "men", which move among the boards twenty-four spots. The object of the game is to leave the opposing player with fewer than three pieces or, as in checkers, no legal moves.
The game begins with an empty board. Players take turns placing their pieces on empty spots by either touching the board or sliding the pieces. If a player is able to form a straight row of three pieces along one of the boards lines, he has a "mill" and may remove one of his opponents pieces. Players must remove any other pieces first before removing a piece from a formed mill. Once all eighteen pieces have been used, players take turns moving.
To move, a player slides one of his pieces along a board line to an empty adjacent spot. If he cannot do so, he has lost the game. As in the placement stage, a player who aligns three of his pieces on a board line has a mill and may remove one of his opponents pieces, avoiding the removal of pieces in mills if at all possible. Any player reduced to two pieces is unable to remove any more opposing pieces and thus loses the game.

Latest reviews of Mills Multiplayer app for iPhone and iPad
The app apparently has difficulty recognizing tile placement when trying to move pieces. Some of my moves took 10-20 attempts before the move was finally accepted. The game also doesnt allow the "flying phase" of the game. When a player has only 3 pieces left, they should be allowed to move the pieces anywhere on the board. These bugs are quite frustrating and make the game unplayable in my opinion.
It is very fun and easy
The app couldnt find any opponents to play. Maybe if the apps popularity grows a bit more this will be a useful app.
