Plug In Digital Releases Abalone Board Game Digitally

Plug In Digital has just launched a vibrant new game on Android, bringing the classic board game Abalone into the digital realm. If you're familiar with Abalone, you'll know it's the game played on a hexagonal board filled with black and white marbles. But get ready, because this digital version adds a splash of color beyond the traditional black and white palette.

For those new to Abalone, let's dive into its history. Designed by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi in 1987 and officially published in 1990, Abalone is a two-player abstract strategy game that gained a significant following in the 90s. The game involves you and your opponent each controlling 14 marbles, either black or white, on a 61-space hexagonal board. The objective? Strategically push six of your opponent's marbles off the board's edge.
