Nine Mens Morris
Nine Mens Morris, also known as Merrills, Mill and Merels, is an old English game that goes back to antiquity - evidence has been found for the game in Egypt. More recently, references in the works of Shakespeare have given it an image of the archetypal medieval board game. Like most of the best games, the rules are simple, the objective being to capture opposing pieces by forming lines of 3. But the game can require deep thought in order to win and so is entertaining for beginners and veterans, alike.
For the games enthusiast or any lover of fine wooden objects,
the Nine Mens Morris board is faced entirely with natural Oak. The lines
and spots are inlaid and the board is accompanied by matching wooden disks.
It's worth paying to avoid thin card boards and plastic pieces:- This beautiful game is likely to be passed down the family for generations to come...
