Danish term or phrase: Møl
Does anyone know what the English name is for the game of "Møl"? When I was little we used to play "Møl og Dam" which is draughts on one side of the board and "Møl" on the other - a game with 3 squares one inside the other and (I can't remember the rules) a couple of round black playing pieces - I have never found a UK equivalent - any suggestions urgently and gratefully received!
