Plug In Digital has just launched a vibrant new game on Android that's sure to catch the eye of board game enthusiasts and mobile gamers alike. It's the digital adaptation of the classic board game, Abalone, which now brings more than just the traditional black and white marbles to the table.
For those unfamiliar with Abalone, let me give you a quick rundown. This game, designed by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi back in 1987, hit the market in 1990 and quickly became a favorite among strategy game lovers during the 90s. Abalone is a two-player abstract strategy game played on a hexagonal board with 61 spaces. Each player starts with 14 marbles—either black or white—and the objective is to push six of your opponent's marbles off the board's edge.

In this mobile version, the fundamental gameplay remains unchanged, but the experience is enhanced with customization options. You can choose the style of your marbles, the board, and even the frame, making your game uniquely yours. You also have the flexibility to tweak the rules to your liking.
The interface is sleek and user-friendly, ensuring a seamless transition from the physical board game to your mobile device. Whether you're a seasoned Abalone player or new to the game, the digital version is designed to be accessible and enjoyable.
