About Nine Men's Morris
Nine Men's Morris is one of the oldest board games in the world. It dates back over 3,000 years and was played by ancient Romans, Egyptians, and Vikings. It is also called Mills or Merels.
Two players compete to form lines of three pieces called "mills." When you form a mill, you can remove one of your opponent's pieces. The game ends when a player has only two pieces left or cannot move.
Our Verdict
“A satisfying brain-teaser that's relaxing and quietly addictive.”
Nine Mens Morris strikes the balance good puzzle games need: gentle enough to relax with, deep enough to make you stop and think. There's no timer breathing down your neck, so you can take each move at your own pace.
