Try a game that has its origins in ancient history!  Layouts have been  
found in manuscripts and tombs, including one cut into roofing slabs in 
Germany (Muhle).  Similar to the game Noughts and Crosses or Tic Tac    
Toe, it was most popular in the 14th Century, acquiring the name Morris 
in England. This was possibly due to the board resembling patterns made 
by Morris dancers.                                                      
                                                                        
Play takes place on the 24 intersecting points on the board.  Each      
player attempts to arrange three of his pieces in a line on the board.  
Such a line is called a Mill.  This entitles a player to remove any one 
of his opponent's pieces from the board, including any that are         
themselves forming a mill.  A player who can reduce his opponent to two 
pieces or block him from making a legitimate move wins the game.        
                                                                        
This strategic two-player game (the computer won't be an opponent) will 
make for a challenging and fun evening!
