I think I found the name of “Ninr Men's Morris” in German. This might be the modern german name, “Muhle”.
Here is the text;
One of the world's exciting strategy games. Boards were found carved into roofs of Egyptian Temples dating from 1400 BC. The playing figure (or Board) has been scratched on the ground with a stick all over the world-Bronze-age Ireland, ancient Troy, Viking Norway as well as S. W. USA. Kere, Tigua and Zuni Indians played a version known as “picarva” and “pedriria”. In France called “merrelles”- now known as Game of Mill- “je de moulin; Germany called Muhle (mill). New Version in World War I was called “Trencho”: inspired by trench fighting. There are also 6-men and 3-men Morris, and an African version called “Achi”.

Muhle, huh? That makes sense, based on the other names. I wonder why it’s called Mill, though. Maybe because you grind your opponents between your pieces?
Oh, and I know a 4 person version of backgammon now, we need to play that, too!
