Plug In Digital has brought the classic board game Abalone to Android devices, and they've spiced things up with a splash of color. Originally designed by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi in 1987 and published in 1990, Abalone became a hit in the 90s as a two-player abstract strategy game. The traditional version features a hexagonal board filled with black and white marbles, but the digital version introduces a more vibrant palette.

If you're new to Abalone, here's a quick rundown: You and your opponent each start with 14 marbles, either black or white. The objective is to push six of your opponent's marbles off the 61-space hexagonal board by nudging them around during your turns.
