Plug In Digital has launched a new Android game: a digital adaptation of the classic board game Abalone. Known for its hexagonal board and black-and-white marbles, this digital edition introduces a vibrant splash of color to the familiar setup.
For those unfamiliar with Abalone, here’s a quick background. Created by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi in 1987 and officially published in 1990, it’s a two-player abstract strategy game that gained widespread popularity in the 1990s.
Each player controls 14 marbles, black or white, taking turns to maneuver them across a 61-space hexagonal board. The objective is to strategically push six of your opponent’s marbles off the board’s edge.
What Does the Digital Abalone Offer?
The mobile version retains the core gameplay while adding customization options. You can personalize marble styles, board designs, frames, and even tweak the rules to match your preference.
The interface is clean and intuitive, making it a great pick for fans of the original board game. Newcomers will also find it easy to learn and enjoy.
Various game modes are available, including challenges against AI opponents and multiplayer matches. If you’re ready to strategize, push, and defend your marbles, you can download Abalone now from the Google Play Store.
