About Us
Neeraj and
Nelumbo Games
Hello! I’m Neeraj Singh Thakur, and Nelumbo Games is my board game design identity. The name Nelumbo comes from the lotus genus (a symbol closely connected to my name, Neeraj) and reflects the idea of thoughtful games blooming from simple beginnings.
I’m a professional digital game developer with released titles across Android, iOS, and Windows. Ever since childhood, I’ve wanted to create games that bring people together, spark curiosity, and leave players with memorable moments.
Coming from digital games, I’m fascinated by the unique magic of board games: the shared table, the physical pieces, the social tension, and the joy of discovering strategies together. My design approach focuses on elegant rules, replayable systems, meaningful choices, and games that are easy to enjoy but rewarding to explore.
Nelumbo Games stands for playful, accessible, and memorable tabletop experiences where simple ideas grow into games everyone can enjoy.
