I had a great time playing a prototype of this game. Loved the mechanics, very well-designed and offer a good balance of strategy and fun. Looking forward to the final version!

Description
Algae, Inc. is a company that produces and processes different kinds of algae into cosmetics, bioplastics, and biodiesel. You manage one of these sectors of the company, trying to create an efficient assembly line; manage your team of operators, engineers, and scientists; and help expand the company to several locations all over Europe. As the company becomes more and more successful, you try to achieve certain milestones before other departments may do so because as much as you like to see the whole company perform well, you would like to get that extra bit of credit compared to your peers.
Algae, Inc. is a medium-heavy strategy game that combines resource management, tableau building, and multi-processing. Each player has a unique player board and must adapt their strategy to the department they've chosen to manage. As the game progresses, you have to hire more staff, optimize your processing line, and keep a close eye on what your colleagues are doing. You also have to make crucial decisions as you decide to free up space on your science board by either unlocking engineer tiles (that will improve your factory) or science tiles (that will allow you to improve your actions). It's a meticulous game that reveals its true depth the more you play it as every decision you make will affect the next one.

I had a great overview of the game from the designers at SPIEL'24. I was totally hyped and playtested it. It's awesome and in my opinion much better as SETI! Finally I immediately bought it and got it signed. I'm looking forward to discover more of the game. All best wishes to the very kind designers. :)

Final highlight of the BerlinCon 2025! Great topic, smartly streamlined and for this kind of complexity it plays comparably fast since the amount of choices is quite limited (per move, not strategy-wise) :) The main barrier might lie in the many details on the player boards but after 30min of playing there is hardly any open question left. It leaves you with a strong desire to optimize your particular department strategy but also to check out the asymetric approaches to make use of algae. Strong recommendation for any fan of rather heavy euros which play rather fast and reward strategic wit and avoid the tendency to suffer from analysis paralysis :) Cheers, K

Grows in my rating the more often i play it. if you play games where proper planning is essential, then it's high up there. Very deep game. Once you are through the rulebook (which is long but also very good and detailed) the game plays very smooth. Very High replayability Good price for what you got

Its sad that Game Brewer no longer exists. Algae Inc will likley be one of the best euro games that nobody will hear about. Featuring options galore you will only complete 20% of what you and do and options-a-plenty for setup offer endless variety.
