It provides the reader with both a conceptual model for understanding how these games work as well as a toolbox of mechanical approaches to achieving a range of design outcomes and assessing the fit of any given approach within a specific design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough dating back to the 1820s, tabletop miniatures games have been little explored critically and lack a conceptual vocabulary for their discussion. Active practitioners in the miniature games design community, Glenn Ford and Mike Hutchinson explore what defines these games, proposing the term 'non-discrete miniatures games' to encapsulate the essence of these open and immersive hobby gaming experiences. Discarding the term 'wargame', they argue against limiting conceptions of these games to direct armed conflict, and champion their diverse narrative potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book provides a fresh conceptual framework for miniatures games, abstracting the concepts of positioning and moving markers non-discretely across scale-modelled environments into inclusive and generalised terminology, untethering them from their roots as military simulations and providing the foundations for a fresh consideration of miniatures games design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for game designers, and with a foreword by Gav Thorpe, \u003ci\u003eThe Fundamentals of Tabletop Miniatures Game Design \u003c\/i\u003eis a handbook for those that wish to design better miniatures games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 242\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 19, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000137728212,"sku":"9781032324012","price":124.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2309\/8324\/files\/oKXuFMZ7BK9781032324012.webp?v=1763069561","url":"https:\/\/role-players.shop\/products\/the-fundamentals-of-tabletop-miniatures-game-design-a-designers-handbook-paperback","provider":"Role-Players","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
