Fish Tank is a tableau-building game in which all players collect fish for their aquarium. Each species of fish has different scoring criteria; some prefer the edges of the tank, some like to sit in the middle, some like to congregate and some don't like having their own kind around them. The players draw their fish in 2 phases of the game, each consisting of 8 rounds. At the end of the game, each player has a 4 x 4 board with multi-colored fish in front of them. The player whose aquarium generates the most points is then declared the winner.

Atoll, winner of Albi's own board game design competition, designed by Jan Štìpánek and illustrated by Martina Lásková and Michal Peichl, is an engine-building game for 2-4 players that takes about an hour to an hour and a half to play. Your goal is to build the best possible ecosystem in which the population of fish and other creatures will thrive, and which will attract new species. A key factor in managing Atoll is a variable called fatigue - every time you use a special coral ability or increase the population of one of your cards, that card becomes fatigued. However, some cards allow you to remove fatigue from other cards, and others let you increase the population without causing fatigue. Finding these options can be the key to victory.

Terra Futura is an engine-building game in which you build the country of tomorrow. By placing and activating cards in your territory, you gain resources and goods. Try to be more effective than your opponents and you will win the game. There are many ways to build your economy. You can take a fast route that results in pollution, or you can do it slow and clean. Each turn you choose a card from the display and place it in your territory in front of you. This activates all cards in a column and a row where you placed the new card. So think twice about where you put each card. Pollution is an essential part of the game. Using international transportation and speeding up your production may help you get the raw materials you need faster, but it creates pollution, which can block your cards and even prevent you from scoring some of your raw materials. But if you use it carefully, it can lead to victory. The game ends when all players have built up their territory of 9 cards (3 × 3 grid). At the end, they reactivate their territory based on their secret scorecard. Players receive victory points based on resources and goods obtained during the game and they score bonus points with their secret cards. Before the winner is announced, they deduct points for each fouled card.
