			==Variants==
			Other variations of this [[game]] include Six Men's Morris and Twelve Men's Morris, among others. The only differences between games is the layout of the board, the direction of moves allowed, and the number of pieces.

			==Make Your Own Nine Men's Morris Set==
			This game is incredibly versatile as a set can be made free or cheaply, making it ideal for [[newbies]], [[SCAdians]] on a budget, or mass-production for [[event]]s. You can draw a [[game]] board with a permanent marker on a piece of [[fabric]], [[wood]], or even a piece of [[paper]]. Game pieces can be any small object, including rocks, [[coin]]s, and [[glass]] [[bead]]s. Make sure there are two obviously different colors of game pieces. A [[fabric]] game board and some pieces fits nicely into a [[pouch]].
