Games Designers Mike Hutchinson (Planet Smasher Games, Gaslands) and Glenn Ford (Man O' Kent Games, SSO, Moonflight) talk miniatures game design. 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!
