FAQ
Do I need an account?
No. Enter a nickname and start playing — no sign-up.
How do I invite a friend?
Create a game and copy the invite link from the lobby. Your friend opens the link and joins.
What are open games?
Public rooms listed on Open Games. Anyone can join without a room code or password.
Can I play against a computer?
Yes. Use Play Bot and choose Easy, Medium, or Hard.
Can others watch?
Yes. Share the separate spectator link (up to 10 viewers by default).
Does it work on mobile? Which languages are supported?
Yes — the site works on desktop and mobile, with English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, and Arabic.
Why use MorrisLive instead of large board-game sites?
Large sites are excellent for rated play and accounts. MorrisLive is optimized for instant friend games of Nine Men's Morris: no sign-up, share a link, optional room password, open tables, or a bot — with less social and ratings noise.
Are games fair? Who controls the clock?
Yes. The server validates every action and owns the clocks. Clients only display state. Disconnects pause your clock with a grace period before forfeit; reconnecting with your session restores your seat.
Is MorrisLive private and safe?
You only need a nickname — no account email. Passwords are hashed, there is no free-text chat (preset phrases only), rooms expire, invite links are not indexed as public pages, and room creation is rate-limited. See Privacy and Terms for details.
