Nine Men's Morris is an ancient two-player strategy board game dating back to the Roman Empire, where players aim to form "mills" (three pegs in a row) to remove opponent pieces. With 9 pieces each, players aim to reduce the opponent to two pieces or block all their moves.
The game measures 24cm w x 24cm d x 6cm h.
