Młynek (Polish: "little mill") or Mlýnek (Czech) is a two-player abstract strategy board game. It is also known as Grinder. It is unknown where the game originates from, or how old it is. Due to the simplicity of the board and rules, similar games can be found in many areas of the world from various historical periods. The board, shown on the right, is similar in design to that of either a Tic-tac-toe board (with the gray lines omitted) or an Achi board (with the gray lines included), and either such board can be used. The board is a 3x3 square grid, with 3 pieces for each player placed during the first phase of the game. On each move in the second phase, you move a piece along an edge of the grid. The goal is to block your opponent so that they have no such move. The first player to succeed at this goal wins the game.
Mlýnek is thus an abstract strategy game of the blockade family which include Mū Tōrere, Pong Hau K'i, Umul Gonu, and Pat Gonu.
