The Rule of Carnage
Tabletop Miniatures Game Prototyping Toolkit
Write a new tabletop miniatures game in seconds!
What is this?
This toolkit is as a rapid prototyping tool, allowing you to generate the skeleton of a tabletop miniatures game in moments. It also exists to make the point that if a design simply reorganises common mechanical tropes into a new order, it is unlikely to be an effective design. Effective game design tightly integrates its core ideas with mechanics to shape the players' experiences.
This toolkit builds on the ideas found in our upcoming book: The Fundamentals of Tabletop Miniatures Game Design.
This toolkit doesn’t create interesting games, it creates functional ones. It can be used as a starting point or as an inspiration. It isn't quite finished yet and will be developed over the next few months.
