About Abalone: The Classic Strategy Board Game

Abalone is a classic two-player abstract strategy board game invented in 1987 by French designers Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi. Played on a unique hexagonal board with 14 marbles per player (black and white), the objective is to push six of your opponent's marbles off the board edge to win. This award-winning game combines tactical marble positioning with strategic planning and sumito pushing mechanics. Often compared to chess for its strategic depth, Abalone has become a favorite among board game enthusiasts worldwide, offering endless possibilities for creative play, competitive tournaments, and intellectual challenge.
