Bringing a family of historical board games to the digital age.
(aka marelles, merels, merrills, merelles, mills, the mill game, morelles, ninepenny marl, or cowboy checkers.)
N Men’s Morris brings nine men’s morris to mobile gamers, and we, at Auspex Labs, do not intend to stop at just nine (hence “N”).
There are plenty of other morris variations to be played, which will be added to the app in forthcoming updates.
A modern format for a truly classic game.
