Which one suits you?

Nine Men’s Morris

The old board game with nine pieces each: place, then move, and finally fly. Close a mill and you take one of your opponent’s pieces – and a well-built double mill often decides the game.

Pick Nine Men’s Morris when two people want a calm strategy game that’s settled in about a quarter of an hour.

Fib Finder

A baffling question with a blank, and everyone makes up a believable wrong answer. Then all the answers appear side by side with the truth: spot the real one and you score – fool others and you score too.

Pick Fib Finder when you love spinning a tale and know each other well enough to fool one another.
