Gametime: Nineholes

We finished out this school year with the 16th century and reading about Elizabethan England and Shakespeare. And one of our books, The Shakespeare Stealer, mentioned a game we had never heard of, Nineholes.

Of course, Benjamin, being our resident gamer, immediately picked up on it and asked what it was and how it was played. We looked it up and it's a really fun variation on tic-tac-toe. Actually, more fun, if you ask me.

From there we also learned a few other variations. including the Tapatan, a game from Philippines, and Len Choa, a game from Thailand! Ask Ben about them next time you see him!
