Er - hum... Is it correct that 8 pieces are used, 4 each? I really think only 6 pieces are used, 3 each (and the players are allowed to move them once all have been placed). I checked the history, and...I'm the one who added this info. I just don't remeber where I got it from. (Note: The info is repeated in the article Tic-tac-toe.)

I also added the ethymological link to Morris dance; I've now added an alternative theory I found in a Danish book on boardgames. --Niels Ø 10:18, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unless there is some kind of answer here on the 8-or-6 issue, one of these days I'm goind to change it from 8 to 6 in the main article.

Finally, I have removed the following dictionnary material from the Alternative names section:

Akidada (Nigeria)
Chikkiri (Japan)
Driesticken (Netherlands)
Dris ath-thalatha (Arab countries)
Jara-badakh (Somalia)
Kleines Mühlenspiel (Germany)
Les Pendus (France)
Neunermühle (Germany)
San-noku-narabe (Japan)
Tre-guti (India)
Trip trap trul (Lower Saxony)
Trilha (Brazil)
Nerenchi (Ceylon)
Bondesjakk (“peasant’s chess”) (Norwegian)

Number of pieces

The article mentions that players place their pieces. But how many pieces does each player have? 2001:9E8:65FD:8200:BD3A:CAF6:6849:D8B1 (talk) 06:49, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
