Resembling the game of modern-day checkers, Nine Men’s Morris was first played in 1400 BC in medieval Europe.
It had players directing nine ‘men’ across a grid, and combining three pieces of men together captured a man from the other side. The game was mentioned in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
