Rules Three concentric triangles, with lines connecting their corners. Six pieces per player. Pieces can move or be placed where the lines intersect, or in the center of the sides of the triangles. Players alternate turns placing their pieces on an empty space on the board.When all the pieces have been placed, players alternate turns moving their pieces to an empty adjacent space along the lines. During either phase, when a player places three pieces in a row along one of the sides of one of the lines, they remove one of the pieces belonging to the other player. The player who removes all of the opponent's pieces wins.
Content ""'Six-penny Madell' has three triangles, instead of squares, the lines running from inner to outer angles." Follows description of Nine Men's Morris, with implication that the rules are adapted to this board. Dartnell 1897: 333.
