Read full description

Abbalone is a two-player marble strategy game on a hexagonal board. Select up to three connected marbles, plan your move, and push six of your opponent's marbles off the edge to win. PLAY YOUR WAY • How to Play: open Profile → How to Play to learn the rules, marble movement and pushing with a guided practice game. • Play vs Bot: choose Easy, Medium, or Hard difficulty. • Pass & Play: take turns with a friend on the same device. • Online Multiplayer: create a private game and share its code, or enter a friend's code to join. There is no random matchmaking. THREE STARTING LAYOUTS Choose Standard, Belgian Daisy, or German Daisy. Save your preferred starting layout in Settings. DAILY CHALLENGE Solve a daily tactical puzzle by pushing an opponent marble off the board in three moves or fewer. Track your challenge streak. An internet connection is required for daily challenges. LOCAL PLAY AND PROGRESS Bot and pass-and-play games work without an internet connection in the installed app. An unfinished local game is saved on your device so you can return to it after closing the app. ONLINE COMPETITION View the ELO leaderboard, play rated private matches, and request a rematch. Online multiplayer and the leaderboard require an internet connection. ELO changes apply to rated online matches; daily puzzles do not award ELO points. OPTIONAL SIGN-IN Start with Play as Guest. Sign in with Apple or Google to access your profile across devices, including match history, statistics, and achievement badges. Guest online features use an anonymous identifier. MAKE IT YOURS Pick one of four themes on the home screen: Gilded Stone, Mood Club, Paw Parade or Midnight Ornaments. Each has its own board, pieces, animations and sounds. Adjust sound effects, haptic feedback, and the default board layout in Settings, including as a guest. Haptic feedback is available on supported devices. Allow notifications if you want daily challenge reminders and motivational messages; notification delivery depends on your device settings and connection. The app includes advertising. Declining tracking permission does not prevent you from playing. Sharing usage analytics is optional and off unless you allow it. There are no voice or video calls.
