Piece disappears

I have a screen capture of a bug where the computer doesn’t realize I have 3 pieces in a line, and it pushes two of them onto the third making it disappear. Please, let me know where to send the video so you can fix the bug.

Otherwise, the AI is quite challenging unlike some other options. Great implementation of this awesome game.

Challenging Abstract Board Game

This is an excellent implementation of Abalone AKA Marble Push.

What is brilliant about this game, is that the rules can be understood in a few minutes, but the complexity(much less than chess but much more than checkers/draughts) is deep enough to be challenging to those who like to think deeply.

It has five modes of difficulty, with the hardest level being difficult even for advanced players to win against. There are four starting positions which add variety: Standard, Belgian daisy, German daisy and Snakes.
