Malifaux (Second Edition)

Get ready to dive into the dark and fascinating world of Malifaux, where fate is something you can literally manipulate! This is a 32mm miniature game focused entirely on character-driven storytelling. Instead of just commanding anonymous armies, you lead a 'Crew' composed of iconic figures, from powerful Masters to loyal Agents and Henchmen. The goal? Control the precious Soulstones, the resource that dictates who truly runs the gears of this world.

The real standout here is how your character dictates the pace of the game. Each Master possesses unique abilities and can even transform into a devastating Avatar to turn the tide. To resolve conflicts, forget about just common dice; here, your 'Fate Deck' is your primary tool. You'll have to decide the exact moment to 'Cheat Fate,' ensuring your attacks and spells work exactly as you planned.

Strategy runs deep: you can follow a main 'Strategy' to secure victory or adopt quicker, alternative 'Schemes' to achieve your goals. With action point mechanics and precise movement, Malifaux demands a shrewd leader who knows how to manage their hand of cards and resources effectively. It's a high-tension game where every move and every card played can completely change the course of your story in the Malifaux underworld. If you love miniatures, horror/steampunk themes, and tactical combat where destiny is in your hands (literally!), this is the game for you!
