Each player pushes a line of marbles in an attempt to eject six of the opponent's marbles off the board. The rules take about two minutes to learn: a line of marbles can only push another line if it outnumbers it. But under that simplicity lies a chess-like depth, where every move shifts the balance of power and opens (or closes) a gap in your own defense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll probably love Abalone if you're after a \u003cstrong\u003epure abstract strategy game\u003c\/strong\u003e, quick to set up, with no luck and no text to read, where reading the board is what separates winning from losing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRight from its 1990 release, Abalone earned one of the very first \u003cstrong\u003eMensa Select\u003c\/strong\u003e honors, awarded that same year to classics like Trivial Pursuit and Scattergories. The game had already won over a jury of game creators a few years earlier by taking the Concours international de créateurs de jeux de société. Since then, more than 4.5 million copies have sold across some thirty countries, a rare longevity for an abstract strategy game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by French creators Michel Lalet and Laurent Levi, Abalone remains their best-known creation and keeps being reprinted decade after decade without its rules ever changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOX CONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 hexagonal game board\u003cbr\u003e14 black marbles\u003cbr\u003e14 white marbles\u003cbr\u003e1 rulebook\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of players:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 and up\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"L'As des jeux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49116404089083,"sku":"210000053858","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5847\/1419\/files\/abalone-ed-1990-pre-joue-en-bazar-1251536907.jpg?v=1785374593","url":"https:\/\/www.asdesjeux.com\/en\/products\/abalone-ed-1990-pre-joue-en","provider":"L'As des jeux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
