In an industry defined by boxed and video games, ALB Games has broken the mold — quite literally.
This innovative new game publishing company has pioneered a unique format that can transform the game industry – a game in a book or audiobook
Each book contains everything needed for a full-fledged card game, party game, or even a board game — all printed on the pages or spoken by a narrator.
Players just have to cut out the cards or play the card on a recording device.

ALB’s games are designed for flexibility. Players can print out and cut apart cards, boards, and tokens from digital files on card stock, or simply slice the pages directly out of the physical book be slipped into standard card sleeves,
The games themselves are as diverse as their formats ranging from 2 to any number. They are also designed to appeal to different audiences, from travel enthusiasts interested in games about different countries and teachers seeking educational tools to party game players interested in games about relationships and advice.
Affordable Fun for All
One of the game in a book or audiobook biggest advantages is cost. Traditional boxed pr video games often retail for $30-40 or more, whereas ALB’s games average around $5-$10, making high-quality games far more accessible.
The portability factor is equally compelling. Instead of lugging a bulky box, travelers can slip a slim game book into a backpack or carry-on.
A Game for Every Interest
ALB’s games are also designed for a wide variety of interests. The company has already published games covering:
History: Games designed for history buffs, teachers, and educational departments.
Life and Love in Prison: Insightful games exploring relationships and everyday life behind bars.
Advice and Relationships: Social games that spark conversation and self-reflection.
Natural Disasters and Health: Games tackling real-world issues in an engaging format.
Everyday Problems: Including unique titles like a game about dealing with an auto accident.
Travel Games: Many translated into Spanish for Latin American, Spanish, and Portuguese markets.
Special Interest Games: Some of the most recent games feature the art market, building different types of properties, and facts about AI
The underlying philosophy of the company is that anything can become a game, including the latest news, which can be designed and published within a few days.
Innovative Sales Approach
ALB Games also has an innovative business strategy. Rather than relying solely on traditional retail channels, the company is targeting bulk sales to organizations and businesses. For example, it is contacting cruise lines, tour organizers, travel agents, and airlines interested in purchasing custom games for their customers. It is contacting history departments and othee educational institutions about games that make learning interactive and fun.
Seeking Global Expansion
After extensive play testing and launching a national marketing campaign, ALB is now going global. The company is actively seeking venture capital and angel investment to scale production, translate games into more languages, and expand its reach worldwide.
