Prepare to engage in a civilized battle of wits as you sit down for a game of Abalone. Shift your marbles around the board and nudge your opponent's off the side. Once you've forced six enemy balls out of bounds, you've successfully mentally manhandled your opponent!
Shoving never seemed so nice.
Sumo shoving
To dominate in checkers, your pieces jump your opponent's. In chess, your pieces replace your opponent's. And to dominate in Abalone, you must literally dominate your opponent's pieces.
Strategically move your unimpeded pieces one space in any direction as a single piece, a pair, or a trio. If your set of pieces encounters an enemy ball and you've got a more massive marble set, you can actually push their sphere out of the way. Shove a total of six enemy marbles off the edge and crown yourself the monochromatic monarch of the table top.
Make a push for victory.
Plenty of pearls
The abalone game set includes a hexagonal game board, two sets of fourteen marbles for a complete set of twenty-eight spheres, and a detailed rules booklet, all packaged in a unique trapezoid-shaped box.
Grab a friend, and you're good to go.
