Looking for the name of a game - something like Muller in German?

Question

It's a game where the objective is to get three game pieces in a row. Then you get to take out an oponents piece. The Board has three squares, the first one the largest, the second inside the first and the third inside the second. Each square has a dot on the corners and in the middle of the line. You can also slide your game pieces to try to get your three in a row. I used to play this with my Mom and she knew it from Germany. I would like to teach my kids but don't know how to get the game with the instructions (I don't think I remember them all!)

Answer 1

After reading your question, I tried looking up the game and it's known by both Muhle, Merrills, and Nine Men's Morris. By the looks of it, it sounds like an interesting board game. Here's a site about it, maybe that'll help lead you to other sites. Thanks for introducing me to a new game and good luck with finding more details about it.
