The castle was built in Vyborg. The board game is identified as Nine Men's Morris. It was developed in the era of the Roman empire.


Nine Men's Morris is well spread to the world. In Japan, it is called "16 Musashi." Musashi indicates Musashi Miyamoto, a strong samurai lived in the 17th century. Now, the rule of this game is thoroughly analyzed. Each player has particular tactics to make the game drown.

The episode that a secret chamber was discovered is exciting. Furthermore, some nobles enjoyed Nine Men's Morris secretly in the room in the 13th century. Fantastic!
