Game overview
Abalone: the classic strategy game with a reimagined design. Push your opponent's marbles off the board, but be patient and strategic to succeed. Available online and solo.
Get ready to experience the updated version of Abalone which has now been inspired by the newest edition of the renowned strategy game. Since almost three decades, this abstract board game has been considered one of the top games, featuring the black and white marbles and a hexagonal board. The ultimate goal is quite simple – to push your competitor's marbles off the board. But beware, mastering this game requires wit and strategy.
To achieve victory, you need to create a solid plan of attack. On each turn, you can move one space with lined-up marbles in any direction, which can be 1, 2, or 3 marbles. In a Sumito position, where your marbles outnumber and are in contact with your opponent's, you can push their marbles out. For instance, three black marbles can push one or two white marbles. Avoid rushing moves and take your time to think ahead, considering every potential possibility, as a hurried choice can cost you the victory.
Having a robust defense is also essential, and it may be the key to winning. Instead of attacking, focus on taking specific positions using a combination of moves, just like in chess and checkers. You can create traps by sacrificing marbles or strategic positions to block your opponent while being mindful of the edges of the board, which are often the most dangerous. In some instances, patience may be vital to your victory.
Don't confuse foresight and haste. To win this game, you need to analyze your opponent's play and look ahead, which requires strategic thinking. Although easy to learn, Abalone demands logical reasoning and strategy. The game offers several modes to develop your skill, such as Challenge Mode, which lets you master the game one move at a time. As you progress, challenges become tougher, beginning with pushing out a single marble and ending with maneuvering against the toughest master.
You can play Abalone alone or with your friends. Play against the computer with Challenge Mode and Free Play Mode, or compete with friends. With Pass & Play Mode, you can challenge them on the same device. If you're tired of playing against friends, you can take your play to the next level by facing the best players worldwide with Online Mode by logging in to your Asmodee account.
The game offers distinct features, including playing solo, multiplayer with Pass & Play mode and Online Mode, and the ability to create your game rules, and choose the marbles to put on the board. The game is available in various languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch.
