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.

In Episode 133 part 3, the guys wrote a book, which they've mentioned once or twice, about how to design miniatures games. Since its launching at the end of the month, they're going to talk a bit about it. Here they're talking about the third section of the book.
