- $38
One of the oldest strategy games in history, Nine Men's Morris has been bringing people together for centuries — and this handcrafted wooden set from Kubiya Games makes it just as engaging today. Whether you're picking it up for the first time or rediscovering a classic, it's a genuinely rewarding two-player game that gets more interesting the more you play. It also makes a thoughtful, lasting gift for board game lovers of all ages.
🎮 How to Play
The game unfolds in two phases. First, each player takes turns placing their 9 pegs on the 24-point grid, working to form mills — three pegs of the same colour lined up in a row. Every time you complete a mill, you remove one of your opponent's pegs from the board. Once all pegs are placed, the second phase begins: players move their pegs along the grid lines to adjacent points, continuing to build and break mills. If a player is down to just three pegs, they can move freely to any empty point on the board — keeping the game alive until the very end.
