Similar to Abalone, Traboulet has marbles to be pushed singly or in rows along an open 7x7 grid of holes. Each player has two clusters of four marbles each in opposite corners. Thirteen red neutral marbles in diamond shape start in the center of the grid. Players can push on any open end of their marbles to push the neutral or opposing marbles off the edge. Every time a player pushes a marble off the edge, they get to move again. First player to push off 7 red marbles or all of his opponent's movable marbles wins.
