Puppet Wars Unstitched

About this board game

Puppet Wars Unstitched is a fast-paced tactical board game for 2 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Set in the world of Malifaux, it casts each player as a voodoo puppet animated by arcane energy and trying to act out the role of its real-life look-alike.

On your turn, use cards from your hand to animate your puppets. They can move, attack, and claim important spaces on the board as you work to gain an advantage. Workbenches are precious objectives, but opposing puppets stand in your way.

The central goal is direct: tear apart your opponent’s lead puppet to win the game. Careful positioning and resource management are essential as you decide how to use your cards and where to send your figures. Fall behind, and you may end up as stuffing under the couch.

The Unstitched edition includes a new board and streamlined rules, along with a large collection of detailed plastic models. Fallen comrades can even provide bits and pieces to sew onto your puppets, adding to the game’s distinctive voodoo-puppet theme.

• 44 highly detailed plastic puppet figures
• Two Puppet Wars Fate Decks
• An 18-inch square game board
• Workbenches and impassable terrain tokens
• Puppet stat cards and exhausted tokens
• The Unstitched Edition rulebook

Released in 2013, Puppet Wars Unstitched combines hand management, tactical movement, attacks, and contested board spaces in a focused head-to-head confrontation. Animate your crew, claim the workbenches, and keep your lead puppet intact long enough to win.
