The History of the Medieval Game - Nine Men's Morris by Stephanie Kennedy
Remnants of the Nine Men's Morris board game have been found across Europe and Ireland, fascinating people for over 2,000 years. This medieval game was played by monks and those on retreat at the monastery in Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. A game board was found scratched into a flat piece of Mica Schist slate when the church at Temple-na-Skellig was excavated in the 1950s by Francoise Henry. Read all about the ancient game here!
