{Nine Men's Morris}[9th January 1988]

[Redbook4:300][19880109:1445]{Nine Men's Morris}[9th January 1988]

.1445

By chance I have come across (in Brewer['s Dictionary of Phrase and Fable] the reference to Nine Men's Morris. The object is to place 3 pieces or men on 3 spots in a continuous straight line, and to stop the others doing so:




Each of the 2 players has 9 pieces or men
.

It is said to be an ancient game; also called Merelles.
