Rule Of Carnage

Rule of Carnage is a game design podcast, available on Youtube and as a podcast feed, in which tabletop designers Mike Hutchinson (Gaslands, A Billion Suns, Hobgoblin) and Glenn Ford (Man O’ Kent Games) explore Designing Better Miniatures Games.

We discuss common game design problems, reflect on our own process and learning, talk about games that excite us and interview other creators. If you want to learn about designing tabletop games, or just listen to a couple of buddies chat about miniature games, this is the place!

Our Book

You can now pick up a copy of our book, The Fundamentals of Tabletop Miniatures Game Design from CRC Press. The book covers the design of miniatures game in a depth never before seen, from the fundamental characteristics of the form, through the raw materials of dice, cards and miniatures, to detailed discussions of the approaches games old and new have taken to common rules systems.

Written for game designers, and with a foreword by Gav Thorpe, The Fundamentals of Tabletop Miniatures Game Design is a handbook for those that wish to design better miniatures games.
