About Navakankari

Navakankari, also known as Nine Men's Morris, is a classic board game that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is played on a simple grid board with three concentric squares, and the goal is to get three of your pieces in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Players take turns placing their pieces on the board and moving them to adjacent spaces, trying to block their opponent's progress and create opportunities for themselves.

Navakankari is a game of strategy and foresight, requiring players to think ahead and plan their moves carefully. It can be played by two people and is suitable for all ages. If you enjoy challenging your mind and testing your strategic skills, Navakankari is a great game to try.
