Step into the world of one of history's oldest games with this charming, vintage Nine Men's Morris set, also known as Merelles. This isn't just a game; it's a testament to timeless design and quality craftsmanship.

The set features a beautiful, solid wooden board and pieces, all of which were meticulously hand-finished. The natural warmth of the wood and the smooth feel of the pieces speak to a level of care and artistry rarely seen today. This is a game you'll enjoy not only for its strategic depth but also for its tactile pleasure.

The game is housed in its original white box, adorned with a stylized, golden game board design. A special touch is the triangular black and white sticker on the front, proudly announcing that the game was selected for the Design Centre London. This recognition highlights the set’s exceptional aesthetic and functional design. While the box has seen better days—it is heavily crushed but still intact—this wear tells a story of a beloved game and its journey through time. You can also see remnants of two old price labels, adding to its unique history.

All the pieces are accounted for and in good, clean condition, ready for countless hours of play. On the bottom of the box, you’ll find the game’s instructions printed directly on the cardboard, ensuring you'll always have the rules on hand. Additionally, a paper bilingual leaflet with instructions in both French and German is included.
