About
The ancient strategy game — reimagined.
Nine Men's Morris has challenged minds for over 3,000 years. 9Kukri brings it to life with stunning neon visuals, real-time online multiplayer, voice chat, and a new daily challenge — all on iPhone and iPad.
THE GAME
Place 9 pieces on the board. Form mills (three in a row) to capture your opponent's pieces. Reduce them to just 2 to win. Drop to 3 pieces and Flying Mode kicks in — teleport anywhere on the board for a desperate comeback.
FOUR WAYS TO PLAY
vs Bot
Face the AI at Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty. A 20-second turn timer keeps every move under pressure. Watch a rewarded ad to buy yourself extra time when it matters most.
Online PvP
Create a game and share the 4-letter code or a direct link. Your opponent taps the link and lands straight in the game. Battle in real time with Firestore-powered live sync, and talk to each other with built-in voice chat. Push notifications tell you the moment it is your turn.
Pass & Play
Two players, one device. Random names are assigned automatically — start playing.
Daily Challenge
A new puzzle every day, hard difficulty, pre-set board. Solve it to extend your streak. Results are recorded automatically when the game ends.
VOICE CHAT
Request a voice call mid-game. Your opponent accepts or declines without leaving the board. Audio is peer-to-peer — nothing is recorded or stored.
SIGN IN OR PLAY AS GUEST
Jump in immediately as a guest with no account required. Sign in with Google or Apple to appear on the global leaderboard and keep your stats across devices. Playing as a guest and changed your mind? Upgrade to a full account at any time without losing your progress.
LEADERBOARD

DESIGNED FOR EVERY APPLE DEVICE
Fully optimised for iPhone and all iPad sizes in portrait. The game board expands to fill the larger canvas on iPad Pro. Every button, card, and animation scales up beautifully.

Frosted glass UI with blur effects throughout
