About

What did the men of The Mary Rose do for fun? Did you know the divers who recovered the ship found a fine wooden backgammon set which still had some of its counters, and a nine men's morris board scratched into the end of a barrel? Eleven dice made of bone were also discovered in chests, which is to be expected as gaming was popular in the Tudor period!

You're invited to step back in time and immerse yourself in the playful pastimes of the men of the Mary Rose. Challenge your family to a strategic game of Nine Men's Morris on the giant board and counters - can you outwit your opponent and secure a victory in this classic game?

Take an unforgettable journey into Tudor entertainment and test your skills with games that have stood the test of time!
