Yeah, not too much to discuss this time.
That was sort of alright, I guess. Abalone is very abstract, almost to its detriment. At least chess lets you pretend you’re commanding an army, with royals who pull their weight for once. Abalone, by contrast, is about spheres, a hexagonal grid, and area control.
It’s all well designed, both the game itself and the digital implementation of it, but it is very bland. I played a couple games against the AI, and that was enough for me.
Recommended if you like abstract board games – although, even then, don’t expect it to knock your socks off.
