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
SPACE GITS
HOBGOBLIN
A Billion Suns - Interstellar Fleet Combat (Osprey)

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:
