Colonial Day Resources from Claude Moore Colonial Farm   Popular 18th Century Games: Nine Man Morris (A game for two players) Equipment: game board, nine men for each player (use two different colors of beans, or buttons, or stones) Object: To remove your opponents markers from the board. The player who ends the game with the most men remaining on the board wins. Or, play until 1 player only has 2 markers, and so cannot make a "mill" (3 in a row). To Play: Each player takes turns placing his markers at intersecting lines.  When one player builds a "mill" by placing three men in a row, he may remove one of his opponents men. After all nine men have been played, each player then slides one marker to any adjacent intersection of lines.              Get a large-size, printable versions of the game board. Beans and corn may be used as markers. Back to the main "Colonial Day" page
