Nine Men's Morris is an indoor form of quoits, also known as merels. The basic equipment is a flat board marked out with three squares and having 24 holes (called stations) in it. Each player has nine pegs which he aims to get into a row of three whilst trying to prevent the opponents from doing the same by 'taking' them before they formed a row.
