About this expansion

Malifaux: Rising Powers is a 2010 expansion for two-player Malifaux games, adding new options for scraps and brawls. It expands the setting’s factions with new masters and minions while introducing additional ways for crews to compete.

New strategies and schemes give your battles more to fight over, adding fresh objectives to your games. Every faction receives new crew possibilities, helping players shape their forces with more variety and distinctive character.

  • Guild: C. Hoffman brings his machines to the faction.
  • Arcanists: Collette entertains Malifaux while running soulstones.
  • Resurrectionists: Kirai seeks vengeance against those who have wronged her.
  • Neverborn: The Dreamer and Lord Chompy Bits bring their might.
  • Outcasts: Hamelin, changed by the plague, adds new power.
  • Gremlins: Ophelia and her ragtag group bring more terror to the bayou.

Rising Powers also introduces the option to lead a crew with henchmen. These leaders are slightly weaker and offer a narrower unit selection, but they bring plenty of flavor and give players another way to command their forces.

Released at GenCon 2010, Malifaux: Rising Powers is built around expanding choice without losing the game’s strong faction identities. Whether you want machines, vengeance, plague, nightmares, or bayou mayhem, this release adds more masters, more minions, and more options to your Malifaux battles.
