Nolan James
We are excited to be welcoming Nolan James to this year’s Designer Alley at #G2S2025!
A little bit about Nolan, written in his own words.
Nolan is a creative with a variety of interests- such as visual arts, animation, music, and game design. He’s often sequestered at home working on some project, even if the weather is really, really nice out.
Nolan’s been designing and playing tabletop games for about 8 years. He’s a proud member of the NYC Playtesters community and lives in Brooklyn with his family, where he eats too many baked goods and doesn’t exercise as much as he should.
THREE RANDOM FACTS ABOUT NOLAN:
Nolan’s animation work was in a movie at the Sundance film festival.
Nolan once did a cross country tour playing keyboard for an indie rock band.
Nolan’s a little too into Megaman and can name the robot masters from all the NES titles.
NOLAN WILL BE SHOWING OFF HIS GAME COSM IN DESIGNER ALLEY AT #G2S2025
Cosm is a spaceship navigation puzzle with tactical combat. Each player is trying to repair their broken ship that is trapped in an unstable rift that wraps in all directions. Puzzle your movement cards together to maneuver around asteroids, collect Parts from the board, and blast opponent ships. Collect and use Cosmite cards for their powerful actions, or exchange them to refine new Cores. Cores are required for your escape, and also allow you to use stronger abilities and more of them, making you increasingly more powerful as the game reaches its conclusion. Make sure to escape first, because everyone left behind is crushed in the collapse! Cosm is a game for 2-4 players and runs 40 minutes.
