Additional info:

Nine Men's Morris game is a solved board game in which either player can force the game into a draw. Each player has nine pieces, or "men", which move among the board's twenty-four spots.

The object of the game is to leave the opposing player with fewer than three pieces or, as in checkers, no legal moves.

Nine Men's Morris game is believed to be one of the oldest games in history. It is an alignment and configuration game that is found widely around the world.

The earliest known diagram of this game was found in an Egyptian temple dating around 1440 BC. Other boards have been discovered in Ceylon of Sri Lanka (c. AD 10) and in the Gokstad Viking ship (c. AD 900).

In Ceylon two boards are cut on the steps leading to the hill at Mihimtali and others are found on a rock near Lankarama dagaba.

Evidence of the board scratched in the ground has also been found in the Bronze-Age Ireland, ancient Troy and Southwestern U.S. It was widely played during the Middle Ages, the most popular in the 14th and 15th Century.

Stoneware Info:

Ceramic or pottery refers to a process of forming, firing or baking, and glazing or decorating a mixture of clay and other materials, then refiring it to harden the glaze.

The three ceramics are earthenware, stoneware and porcelain.

Stoneware is made from a particular type of clay that is fired at high temperatures, generally up to 2,372 °F (or 1,300 °C).

Stoneware, named after its dense stone like quality after firing, is tougher and more durable.
