Who We Are
At Gnomad and Co., we believe tabletop games are more than just entertainment—they are reflections of human nature and community dynamics. We are an independent studio dedicated to crafting immersive, narrative-driven experiences that challenge the mind and provoke meaningful conversations. We don't just build game mechanics; we design social thrillers that test trust, forge alliances, and leave a lasting impact long after the box is closed.
Our debut title, The Town and Its People, is a testament to this philosophy: a social deduction thriller built on tension, storytelling, and high-quality craftsmanship. We are here to create work that matters, driven by a shared commitment to quality, artistic excellence, and unforgettable tabletop experiences.
Giovanni Zuniga is the Chief Game Designer and the creative force behind Gnomad and Co. As the creator of The Town and Its People , Giovanni approaches game design as a captivating social case study, exploring how quickly a united community can fracture and go to war with itself.
With a deep appreciation for storytelling, he designs experiences where tension is prioritized over perfection, and dramatic engagement is placed above standard mechanics. Giovanni believes that a game's true value lies in the dialogue it inspires after the final card is played. His ultimate goal is to bring friends and family together for high-stakes adventures , while offering a profound reminder of how easily divides can form in any society.
