First published in 1990, Abalone is a two-player strategy game designed by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi. You play with black and white marbles on a hexagonal board with the objective of pushing six of the opponent's balls off the edge. It's similar in set-up to Chinese Checkers but with important modifications. It's sold 10 million units and has won awards, including Game Of The Decade at the Cannes Games Festival. There are iOS and Android versions now, courtesy of Asmodee Digital.
