Plug In Digital has just launched an exciting new game on Android: the digital adaptation of the renowned board game, Abalone. If you’re familiar with the classic hexagonal board filled with black and white marbles, get ready for a vibrant twist in this digital version.

For those new to Abalone, here’s a quick overview: Designed by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi in 1987 and officially published in 1990, it's a two-player abstract strategy game that gained significant popularity in the 90s. In Abalone, you and your opponent each control 14 marbles—yours black, theirs white. The gameplay involves maneuvering these marbles across a 61-space hexagonal board, with the goal of pushing six of your opponent's marbles off the edge.
