Description
Abalone is a strategic board game designed for two players, where the goal is to push six of your opponent's marbles off the board. The game is easy to learn, and a typical playtime is about 30 minutes. Players take turns moving their marbles around the hexagon grid, using a combination of grid movement and slide/push mechanics to outmaneuver their opponent. The game requires abstract strategy and planning, as players need to balance defense and offense to succeed. With no necessary in-game text, Abalone is a great option for players of all languages. First published in 1987, Abalone has stood the test of time, and its simple yet challenging gameplay has made it a classic among board game enthusiasts.
