About Abalone

The History of Abalone

Abalone was invented in 1987 by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi in France. The game was first published in 1988 and has since become a classic abstract strategy board game enjoyed by millions worldwide.

The inventors were inspired by traditional Asian games like Go and aimed to create a game with simple rules but deep strategic possibilities. The name "Abalone" comes from the sea snail with an iridescent shell, reflecting the game's elegant design and the marble-like game pieces.

Since its creation, Abalone has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide and has been translated into numerous languages. It has won several awards, including the "Game of the Year" in France, and has been featured in international competitions.
