Plug In Digital has just launched an exciting new game on Android: the digital adaptation of the renowned board game, Abalone. Originally designed by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi in 1987 and published in 1990, Abalone became a beloved two-player abstract strategy game throughout the 90s. In this classic, players maneuver 14 marbles, either black or white, across a 61-space hexagonal board, with the goal of pushing six of their opponent's marbles off the edge.
What About the Digital Version of Abalone?
The mobile version retains the core mechanics of the original while adding a splash of color beyond the traditional black and white. You can now customize your gaming experience by choosing the style of your marbles, board, and frame, and even tweak the rules to match your preferences. The interface is designed to be clean and intuitive, making it a delightful experience for both fans of the tabletop version and newcomers alike.
The game offers various modes to keep you engaged. Challenge AI opponents or test your skills against other players in multiplayer modes. Whether you're strategizing to outmaneuver your opponent, pushing marbles off the edge, or defending your own, Abalone on mobile is ready for you to dive in. You can find it on the Google Play Store and start playing today.
