Product Description

Abalone GO is the compact, travel-friendly version of the classic 2-player Abalone strategy game. Using the same core rules and objective as the original, players try to push 6 of their opponent’s 14 marbles off the board while planning clever moves, blocking attacks, and setting traps along the edge.

This portable version keeps the same satisfying head-to-head gameplay but comes in a smaller format that is easier to carry and store. A practical cover helps hold the marbles in place, so you can pause the game and take it with you more easily.
