ALBI announces a bunch of new games, expansions and content on Made by ALBI Showcase 2025

Severton, designed by Vlaada Chvátil and illustrated by Miguel Coimbra, is 1 to 5 player cooperative game set in the eponymous mysterious and dangerous district inspired by Old Prague. The players will become a group of teenagers, trying to uncover dark mysteries surrounding this neighbourhood. The game consists of five interconnected yet fully replayable and variable scenarios with 4 difficulty levels to beat. The players must closely cooperate and split their forces in a clever way. Divided, they’re easy prey for groups of patrolling Vonts, however, as a group, they’re much more likely to draw their attention. Balancing between these two approaches to solving Severton’s challenges is a key to success!



Severton is set to be released at Spiel Essen this October.

Dirt & Dust, designed by co-designer of Kutná Hora Petr Čáslava and illustrated by Jakub Politzer (Lost Ruins of Arnak, SETI, Adrenaline and more) is game for 1 to 4 players that offers way different experience than other racing-inspired games. The core of the game lies in fine tuning your vehicle (your deck of cards) and balancing risky and safe driving in order to keep your car on the track (and score as many points as you can while doing so). There is not much direct interaction between players in Dirt & Dust (as there is not much interaction in the real rally championships), but the excitement and tension is still through the roof.



Dirt & Dust will premiere on GenCon in August.

Garden Lake is a tile-laying game from Uwe Rosenberg, illustrated by Jindřich Pavlásek. for 1 to 4 players. The goal is to fill your game board – pond full of koi fishes and water lilies as much as possible, because you get points for each full row and column. However, the tiles are quite tricky and you can only choose the ones from the edges of your display and displays of the neighbouring players. During the game, you can additionally unlock new titles by covering selected areas of your game board.



Garden Lake is very approachable family game that will be released in August.

Puer is the expansion for critically acclaimed deck-building / action-selection title Tea Garden, that was among the most popular titles at Spiel last year. Puer adds more complexity with two new main actions - visiting a Noble Court with a new meeple type – Courtier and visiting a Puer market which allows the players to complete puers that gradually offers bigger bonuses. A most requested addition is a solo mode, but it’s even better – although the printed components for solo mode are part of the Puer expansion, Albi has also made them available for free as PnP, which you may download here. Tea Garden: Puer is going to be released at Essen Spiel in October.

Family-friendly fantasy adventure Karak has plenty of fans throughout the world, selling more than 450k of games and another example of continued support is Karak 2: Chaos. It’s a biggest expansion for any of the Karak games so far. It includes ten new buildings types, 5 elite unit types, 2 new heroes, alternative bosses, purchasable items and warbands, roaming the landscape and wreaking havoc to players’ cities. Karak 2: Chaos will be available at Essen Spiel in October.

Another novelty set in the universe of Karak is a fast-paced real-time drawing puzzle game Karak: Labyrinth, designed by Petr Vojtěch and illustrated by Roman Hladík and Petr Štefek. In Karak: Labyrinth, the players are trying to find the most efficient way through the catacombs of Karak to fulfil as many objectives as they can. The game contains more than 20 objective cards in two difficulty levels, so there is always a lot of variability. Also, it’s not just about finding a way – the players must also solve puzzle minigames when encountering different items and enemies on their boards. Karak: Labyrinth is for 1 to 4 players and it’s set for release this fall.

Each of the Karak sets later receive a set of miniatures for the players wishing to replace cardboard hero standees and last year’s expansion, Imperium, is no exception. The miniatures are set for release this summer and the pack also includes minis of two promo heroes.
