A downloadable tabletop skirmish game

Buy Now$5.00 USD or more

SPACE GITS is a miniatures skirmish game about drunk-ass space orcs looting, shooting and scooting. I wrote as an excuse to play with both old school metal orc miniatures and new school resin ones. I also wrote it as an experiment to see (a) how far I can pull control away from you in a miniatures game while still keeping the game worth playing, and (2) if dice-dexterity mechanics can be as funny in a miniatures game as I always imagine they could be… This game is in alpha and will get updates. I want it to be fun with 2-5 players.

Coming To Kickstarter in 2025

I am planning to bring SPACE GITS to Kickstarter in 2025 to fund the production of a lovely physical rulebook for the game. Please consider clicking to follow my Kickstarter preview page.

Design Principles

When writing this game, I was thinking about these things:

  1. Drunk-ass space orcs
  2. Fighting should feel like playing Skulls
  3. Orcs are belligerent and ill-behaved
  4. Random movement that doesn’t suck
  5. Physicality and dexterity, not thinking
  6. Multiplayer funz 

Where can I get space orcs?

Kromlech. Old School Miniatures. Red Nebular. Hardcore Miniatures (also MTG Terrain). Malicious Minis. Ramshackle. Invictus. That What Grows. Stationforge. Made By Geeks. Knightmare. Modulorka.

Early Access

This game is still in development, and frankly is kind of weird. It is fully playable (and fun!) in its current form, but doesn't contain everything it will eventually be released with. If you read it or play it, I'd love to hear what you make of it. I'd love you to message me, or hit me up in the Planet Smasher Games discord server.
