Nathan Fullerton
We are excited to be welcoming Nathan Fullerton to this year’s Designer Alley at #G2S2025!
A little bit about Nathan, written in his own words.
I'm a New Hampshire native who loves board games and always wanted to make my own. About a year and a half ago I joined the Game Makers Guild, started attending conventions, and now have my first game under contract, coming out in 2026! Outside of boardgames, I work as a product designer at a startup company here in NH, and enjoy kayaking, skating and hiking across New England. This is my first Granite Game Summit, and I'm excited to play games, meet new people and show you all the new game I've been working on!
THREE RANDOM FACTS ABOUT NATHAN:
Nathan is half Canadian
He has a cat who plays fetch, shakes paws, and gives high fives
Nathan makes amazing chocolate chip cookies
NATHAN WILL BE SHOWING OFF HIS GAME TRANSIT OF VENUS IN DESIGNER ALLEY AT #G2S2025
Transit of Venus:
The Transit of Venus is a cooperative cribbage style card game where astronomers from four different centuries build off of each other's work to observe and catalogue a rare celestial event - the Transit of Venus
As each Century scores points, they advance their respective peg on the board. This represents scientific advancement as the people of that time period invent new technology, prepare observation points, and publish their results. Reaching certain spaces on the score track will earn you Milestones to commemorate these achievements, which will help you and your fellow players continue to advance.
Your opponent is time itself - each round, the Venus peg will also move, representing how much time it took each Century to achieve those accomplishments. To win, every Century must be ahead of the Venus peg by the time the game ends!
Can you work together to observe the transit?
