Nine Men's 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, Nine Mens Morris rules are simple, the objective being to capture opposing pieces by forming lines of 3. It is an under-rated game of skill that is easy to learn but sometimes requiring deep thought - a bit like grown-up tic-tac-toe (or noughts and crosses). It is an entertaining game for beginners and veterans alike and something for older children and adults to enjoy.

This is a French compendium of games. There are 4 classic games that are all great and not often seen together in a compendium:

Nine Mens Morris (played since at least the middle ages)
The Game of Goose (the oldest commercial board game in the world)
10 x 10 Draughts (more enjoyable than the 8 x 8 version)
Ludo (in the French style with horses)

Although the instructions are in French, it's such a nice selection of games we couldn't resist making it available from our stock.

Includes 40 draughts, 16 horses
