Plug In Digital has launched a vibrant new adaptation of the classic board game Abalone on Android. Known for its strategic depth, this digital version brings the beloved hexagonal board to life with a splash of colour beyond the traditional black and white marbles.
Originally designed by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi in 1987 and officially released in 1990, Abalone is a two-player abstract strategy game that captivated audiences in the '90s. Each player starts with 14 marbles—either black or white—and takes turns pushing their opponent’s pieces off the hexagonal board’s 61 spaces. The goal? Successfully nudge six of your rival's marbles beyond the board's edges.
What Sets the Digital Version Apart?
While the core gameplay remains true to its tabletop roots, the mobile iteration introduces exciting new features. Players can personalise their experience by customising marble styles, board designs, and even tweaking the rules to match their preferences. The user-friendly interface ensures both newcomers and seasoned players will feel right at home.
With various modes available, including AI opponents and multiplayer options, there’s something for everyone. Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills against intelligent adversaries or challenge friends online, this digital rendition of Abalone delivers an engaging experience.
Ready to dive into this strategic adventure? Download Abalone today from the Google Play Store. And don’t forget to stay tuned for our next feature on Cardjo, a Skyjo-inspired card game launching soon on Android!
