Traditional Board Games

Tafl / Nine Men Morris Deluxe Board Game


When you purchase this board you get two games in one! One side is Tafl, the other is Nine Men's Morris. You will also get the handmade tokens and instructions.
 
Tafl spread everywhere the Vikings travelled, including England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and Brittany. The size of the board and the number of pieces varied from place to place. All games involve a distinctive 2:1 ratio of pieces, with one side having a king-piece that starts in the centre. The king attempts to escape to the corners while the other side attempts to capture him.

$100.00 + P&P

Nine Men Morris

Nine Men's Morris is an abstract strategy board game for two players that emerged from the Roman Empire. The game is also known as Nine Man Morris, Mill, Mills, Merels, Merelles, and Merrills in English.


Tafl / Nine Men Morris Board Game

This is a slightly different version of the same double sided game seen above.

The difference lies in the decoration of the board, the pictures used to show the starting locations and in the way the tokens are carried with the board.

Notice the attached tokens.

As you can see, the pieces are strung, making it easier to carry as it makes a comfortable handle!

Our ancestors used the same method to keep the tokens with the board. If it works, why change it? (See close up of tokens and handle below)
