Abalone Classic Strategy Game - New Version

Two camps face off across a hexagonal board containing black and white marbles in the Abalone Board Game from Asmodee and Abalone Games. This beautiful and functional board has room for two teams of large marbles. Players take turns pushing the marbles around the board, with the goal of pushing six of the opposing player's marbles off the board. The central idea is that a column of marbles has weight given by the number of marbles in line. Someone will need to push with a heavier group of marbles in order to push the column along that axis. However, with six possible directions, it's difficult to defend yourself perfectly. It's possible to play the game with up to six players when supplemental marble sets are purchased!

AN INTERNATIONAL CLASSIC BEST-SELLER: With over 10 million copies sold, we gave the game a new look and improved features. Larger and heavier marbles, a better board and a better set-up tray.

COUNTLESS INTERNATIONAL AWARDS: Including Mensa Select (awarded to original, challenging and well-designed board games) and the As d'Or (Game of the Decade in France 1998).

EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO MASTER: Learn the game in a few minutes and enjoy a lifelong progression in mastering it. Abalone is used in several Mind Olympics competitions.

A MENTAL SUMO GAME: Smartly position your marbles to push your opponent’s marbles off the board.
