Planet Smasher Games

Hello! I’m Mike Hutchinson. Planet Smasher Games is an independent tabletop games studio that I founded in 2015. I make unreasonably fun tabletop miniature games, including Gaslands, SPACE GITS, A Billion Suns, Hobgoblin and many more!

Gaslands - Post Apocalyptic Vehicle Carnage (Osprey) — GASLANDS

Since quitting my job to take miniatures game design fulltime, I share my design process on YouTube. There are two things you could do for me:

I have a new Osprey Wargame available today! PACIFIC COMMAND is like Battleships for grownups... Let's have a look at it, shall we?

* Buy the game direct from Osprey: https://www.ospreypublishing.com/uk/pacific-command-9781472859976/
* Get a host of free downloads for the game from my site: https://planetsmashergames.com/pacific-command/

UPDATE: Apologies for the abrupt ending on this video! I must have messed up the export. I’m at UKGE this weekend, so can’t fix it. This will just have to be the canonical ending for this video! :D
