Nine holes
Nine holes is a two-player abstract strategy game from different parts of the world and is centuries old. It was very popular in England. It is related to tic-tac-toe, but even more related to three men's morris, achi, tant fant, shisima, picaria, and dara, because pieces are moved on the board to create the 3 in a row. It is an alignment game.
The board is empty in the beginning. Players decide what colors to play, and who will start first. The game is then played through two stages:
- Drop phase
- Each player drops one piece per turn on any vacant space on the board. Players alternate their turns. Pieces cannot move until all three pieces have been dropped.
- Move phase
- After each player's three pieces have been dropped on the board, each player can move a piece to any vacant space on the board. Only one piece can be moved per turn.
Players can create the 3 in a row at either the drop phase or move phase, and win the game.

anaphora
In rhetoric, an anaphora (Greek: ἀναφορά, "carrying back") is a rhetorical device that consists of repeating a sequence of words at the beginnings of neighboring clauses, thereby lending them emphasis. In contrast, an epistrophe (or epiphora) is repeating words at the clauses' ends. The combination of anaphora and epistrophe results in symploce.
