Mabula

Mabula is a strategic and engaging game for two players that will test your ability to plan ahead and think on your feet. Each player begins with 12 marbles of their own color, placed randomly around the perimeter of the board. The only rule for placement is that no more than two marbles of the same color can be placed consecutively, even around corners.

Mabula is perfect for those who love strategy games and enjoy a new challenge every time they play. Great for ages 8 and up, it provides endless fun for family game nights, gatherings with friends, or any time you want to test your strategic thinking skills!

How to Play:
On each turn, a player selects one of their marbles from the board's perimeter and moves it across the board as far as desired in a straight line.
If there are other marbles in the chosen line, they are pushed ahead, creating new formations.
The key restriction is that marbles cannot be pushed off the board's perimeter, maintaining the integrity of the play area.
Players continue taking turns until no further moves can be made.

Winning the Game:
The standard way to win is to create the largest orthogonally connected group of your color marbles. The player with the largest group wins.
For a different challenge, you can choose to score by multiplying the sizes of all your marble groups. In this variation, the maximum possible score is 81 (3x3x3x3).
