Board game TREFL Trefl Warcaby Młynek – classic Polish checkers and mill combination, family tabletop play

The product is intended for casual household play and learning, suitable for children and adults who want a compact, entry-level strategy game for home use.

How to use

Open the board on a flat surface and arrange the playing pieces according to the selected game's starting layout. Choose either checkers (warcaby) or mill (młynek) rules before beginning; familiarise players with the movement and capture mechanics specific to that game. Play proceeds in alternating turns, with the objective determined by the chosen variant — capturing opponent pieces in checkers or forming mills in mill. Store the set folded and keep pieces in a small bag or compartment to prevent loss between sessions.

Usage recommendations

Use on a stable, even tabletop to ensure pieces remain steady during play. Supervise younger children while handling small pieces to avoid choking hazards. To extend component life, avoid exposure to moisture and store the board and pieces in a dry place when not in use.
