Malifaux (Third Edition)

About this board game

Malifaux (Third Edition) is a story-driven tabletop miniature skirmish game for two players, with games lasting around 120 minutes. Set in an alternate Earth of the 1900s, it combines gothic horror, Victorian structures, steampunk constructs, and wild west gunslingers.

In Malifaux, fortune waits beneath the surface. Soulstones hidden in cavernous catacombs are valuable enough to draw explorers into near-lawless lands filled with undead amalgamations, monstrous vengeful apparitions, and other creatures that bump in the night.

Build and lead a crew through fast-paced, brutal conflicts where the events of the setting’s lore are carried directly into character mechanics. A streamlined hiring system and straightforward, updated rules keep the action accessible while leaving plenty of strategic depth for experienced players.

• Story-driven skirmishes: Take part in conflicts shaped by Malifaux’s distinctive gothic and steampunk setting.
• Fate Deck gameplay: Use cards instead of relying on dice rolls to guide your crew’s actions.
• Strategic decision-making: Combine tactics, strategy, and resource management to pursue victory.
• Cheat Fate: When careful planning is not enough, manipulate uncertainty to change your fortunes.

Every game challenges you to test your luck, manage your resources, and stake your claim in a dangerous world. With its updated rules and distinctive card-based resolution system, Malifaux (Third Edition) offers a compelling skirmish experience for players ready to seek their fortune.
