Alga Hotel board game

Alga is a legendary Swedish board game brand that has been a staple of Scandinavian household entertainment for over a century. The 'Hotel' board game (often referred to as 'Nya Hotell' or 'Hotel Tycoon' in various markets produced by the brand) became one of its most recognizable titles during the late 20th century. The game involves players acquiring land and building luxury hotels, focusing on property management and financial strategy.

Founded in Stockholm in 1917, Alga originally specialized in lithographic printing before moving into the production of classic games. Throughout its history, it became the Swedish market leader for board games, known for high-quality production and localization of global titles. Today, the brand is part of the Brio Group, which is famously owned by the German toy giant Ravensburger.

While the brand maintains its Swedish identity and design heritage, manufacturing for modern editions of Alga games is typically handled across various international locations, including the European Union and Asia, to satisfy global supply chain requirements. The ultimate ownership by Ravensburger ensures that Alga continues to distribute classic and updated versions of its catalog across the Nordic region and beyond.
