 Losing my marbles over this gameAug 14, 2010
By D. McMenamin
"a homeschooler"
Nine Men's Morris, AKA the Mill Game, is a fun traditional strategy game, played in three phases, and it is very easy to learn.
This one is visually attractive, and has internal storage for the marbles that are used as playing pieces. As a child, I had a wooden Mill Game with metal pegs for the playing pieces, and that is what I was hoping to buy, because I was concerned about the marbles falling on the floor and rolling away. I could not find one that used pegs, however, and this appeared to be the nicest of the reasonably priced boards.
It arrived today, and it is as fun as I remember from childhood, but the marbles are more of a pain than I expected. The players either need to keep the unplayed marbles in their hands when they're not on the board, or need to have a little dish nearby for holding them. The the marbles are not standard-sized either, so when one gets lost it will be hard to replace with one that fits in the internal storage compartment.
It is attractive enough to keep on top of your coffee table, but you will not want to display it with the marbles on top, or you will likely knock them on the floor.
The board itself appears quite durable. I'm giving it a low durability score because of the likelihood of losing the marbles.

I played this game as a child back in Europe and was so excited at seeing it selling on Amazon. Great game. Perfect for all ages. Could have been a little larger but still love it.
 Boring movieMay 19, 2012

This a disappointing movie by Adil Imam. I usually like his movies but this one is boring and I feel it took him only one week to make.

Got this for my husband who is a history teacher. He was pleasantly surprised at the game and the history of it. I, however, thought the game board would be much bigger. But all in all, it was a great Christmas present.
