Bring home the timeless thrill of strategy and family bonding with the Classic Navakankari board game—also known as Nine Men’s Morris or Daadi. Celebrated for centuries across cultures, Navakankari is more than just a game; it’s a captivating contest of wits that transforms any gathering into an arena of friendly rivalry and laughter.
Navakankari is an alignment game for two players, each commanding nine pieces. The objective is simple yet deeply strategic: form a line of three pieces—called a “mill”—to remove your opponent’s pieces and outsmart their every move. Every turn demands foresight, tactical planning, and the thrill of anticipation, making each match a fresh test of your mind and creativity.
Perfect for all ages, this game is a wonderful way to bring generations together. Whether it’s family game night, a holiday gathering, or a quiet evening at home, Navakankari invites everyone to unplug, share stories, and create new memories. Its easy-to-learn rules mean even young children can join in, while its depth ensures adults remain challenged and engaged.
Crafted with care and designed for portability, the Navakankari set is as beautiful as it is functional. Its compact size makes it ideal for travel, so the fun and strategy can follow you wherever you go—be it a picnic, a vacation, or a casual meet-up with friends.
Known by many names—Navakankari in Sanskrit, Daadi in Telugu, Saalu Mane Ata or Jodpi Ata in Kannada, and Nine Men’s Morris in the West—this game is a testament to India’s rich tradition of logical and strategic play. It’s not just a pastime; it’s a living piece of heritage, connecting you to centuries of thinkers and strategists.
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. Whichever player is able to collect all but 2 pieces of the opponent is the winner.
Sharpen your mind, spark joy, and strengthen family bonds with Navakankari—the classic game where every move counts and every moment is filled with fun and anticipation.
