Abalone
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. Also, it's possible to play the game with up to six players when supplemental marble sets are purchased.

What the community says about Abalone
2 jugadores, tablero juego abstracto que no me llama mucho...
This game is very different from all other abstract games, and I like very much the aesthetic. The game itself is also good.
0-2
No es mi tipo de juego y casi me duermo
[ES] Uno de los abstractos que me gustan. Rápido, se disfruta mucho y un juego para dos muy "rejugable". [EN] One of the few abstracts I like. Very quick, enjoyable and replayable 2 player game.
Esp) Gran juego abstracto con mecánicas muy elegantes y agradable de jugar como pocos.
