Whilst working on creating a full size table with a Hnefatafl ('Viking Chess') it became evident that wooden games are a winner with pretty much everyone!
All the performers in the show that the table was for were playing for hours on end and there has even been talk of a league haha!
These started as a rough old off cut with marker pen lines just to give people something to do and due to their popularity I'm now making them with pyrographed lines and tasty felt backing, sealing them in a light beeswax finish.

Full description
Wooden pyrographed game board and pegs, sealed in natural beeswax and backed with green felt.
Great for travel - the pegs sit snugly in the holes so no searching for missing game pieces!
Board measures approx: 3 inches x 3 inches
Not suitable for children under 36 months due to small parts.
This game was played in ancient Egypt. One of these game boards was found cut into a roofing slab at the temple at Kurna in Egypt (c. 1400-1333 B.C.) Three Men's Morris was very popular in the 14th century. Game boards have been found in cathedrals carved into cloister seats by monks.
Three Men's Morris is widely believed to be the origin of the popular modern day Noughts and Crosses or 'Tic Tac Toe'
Each player has three pieces. The winner is the first player to align their three pieces on a line drawn on the board. There are 3 horizontal lines, 3 vertical lines and 2 diagonal lines.
The board is empty to begin the game, and players take turns placing their pieces on empty intersections. Once all pieces are placed (assuming there is no winner by then), play proceeds with each player moving one of their pieces per turn. A piece may move to any vacant point on the board, not just an adjacent one.
Crazily addictive and good wholesome fun for everyone!
