	Abalone (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abalone is a two-player strategy board game which can be quaintly summarized as "sumo wrestling with marbles", as the objective is to push opposing marbles off the edge of the board.
		Abalone can be played by three persons (or more) using the same board with fewer marbles each in three different colours.
		Abalone was invented in 1987 by Laurent Levi and Michel Lalet.

	Abalone download @ Game Downloads
		Abalone is an excellent unofficial Windows version of an original abstract board game of the same name, which remains largely unknown outside France where it was invented.
		The hexagonal-shaped board allows a wide variety of "secure" positions, when your marbles are arranged in a honeycomb formation that are at least 3x3 from any direction, and therefore immune to your opponent's move.
		Since the average game length is too long for a quick coffee-break mental exercise, Abalone is perfect as a substitute for complex board games like chess or go.

	UGeek PDA Review: Pabalone 1.1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		I had been introduced to the board game by a friend and found it fascinating, but I seldom simultaneously find a partner and the time to play, so I have been looking for a computer version.
		The game does not offer an undo option--the author specifically excluded this, although it is technically possible (like he says, the computer can't undo your moves either).
		The game is neither inherently geeky nor original, but it is a fun game to play when you have a few minutes free.
