Nine Men's Morris Game Morris could easily be one of the oldest, still-played board games in the world. It's been found scratched into the roof of a 1400 B.C. Egyptian temple, in the ruins of Troy, in a Bronze Age tomb in Ireland, and in the burial ship of a Viking king. "Morris" seems to have come from the French name for the game, "merelles". This is a two-person game. Each player has 9 pieces. Anything will do: 9 dimes and 9 pennies, 9 poker chips of 2 colors, etc. There are 24 "points" on the board where a piece may be placed. These are the corners of the squares and the places where the connecting lines intersect. The object of the game is to create "mills" and remove your opponent's pieces from the board until he only has 2 pieces left or is unable to make any moves. A "mill" is 3 of the same player's pieces laid in a row with no vacant points between them (horizontal or vertical only!) Each time a player moves one of her pieces so that she creates a new mill, she can remove one of her opponent's pieces. A player who has made a mill may not take a piece from one of his opponent's mills unless there are no other pieces to take. A new mill may be formed by a player moving one of her pieces from an existing mill (so it's no longer a mill) in one turn and moving it back into the same place to recreate the mill on her next turn (provided the other player doesn't block the space in the meantime).
