Kensington is an abstract strategy board game devised by Brian Taylor and Peter Forbes in 1979, named after London's Kensington Gardens, which contains the mosaic upon which the gameboard is patterned.
 It is played on a geometrical board based on the rhombitrihexagonal tiling pattern.
 The objective of the game is to capture a hexagon by occupying the six surrounding vertices.
 The game maintains an elegant simplicity while still allowing for astonishingly complex strategy.
 The placing and movement of tokens have been compared to Nine Men's Morris.
The record of the nine was a term used in hurling to refer to the nine men who held the record between 1944 and 2009 for winning four consecutive All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship winners' medals.
 This occurred between 1941 and 1944 when Cork won the championship title every year.
 Only nine men played in all four finals, hence the record of the nine.
 These men were Din Joe Buckley, Alan Lotty, Jack Lynch, Willie Murphy, Paddy O'Donovan, Johnny Quirke, Christy Ring, Batt Thornhill and Dr. Jim Young.
The council of Nine Men was a citizens board and a form of representational democracy in New Netherland.
 It replaced the previous councils, the Twelve Men and the Eight Men.
 Members of the council were elected in 1647, 1649, 1650 and 1652.
 On July 26, 1649, eleven current and former members of the board signed the "Petition of the Commonality of New Netherland", which requested that the States General take action to encourage economic freedom and force local government like that in the Netherlands, removing the colony from the control of the Dutch West India Company.
 It became the basis for the municipal government when the city of New Amsterdam received its charter in 1653.
Sher-bakar is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Punjab, India.
 It is a hunt game.
 It uses an Alquerque board, and therefore, Sher-bakar is specifically a tiger hunt game (or tiger game).
 There are two tigers attempting to elude and capture as many of the other player's pieces which in other hunt games in this part of the world is often referred to as a goat, cows, lamb, or men.
 An interesting and uncommon feature in this game is that the goats, cows, lamb, or men are piled up on four points of the board at the beginning of the game.
 Piling up pieces is an unusual feature in hunt games or any board game in general.
 The only other hunt game that uses this feature is Bagh bandi, a game closely related to Sher-bakar.
 Hereinforth, the white pieces will be referred to as goats.

The Friendship Nine, or Rock Hill Nine, was a group of African-American men who went to jail after staging a sit-in at a segregated McCrory's lunch counter in Rock Hill, South Carolina in 1961.
 The group gained nationwide attention because they followed the 1960 Nashville sit-in strategy of "Jail, No Bail", which lessened the huge financial burden civil rights groups were facing as the sit-in movement spread across the South.
 They became known as the Friendship Nine because eight of the nine men were students at Rock Hill's Friendship Junior College.
