Malifaux - first time player


I played my first game of Malifaux this week. It has a very unusual system, a collectivble card game mated to a miniatures game. It is completely diceless. The rule book is great fun to read but a nightmare to find a rule, which does not help the learning process.

We played two to a side, one to move the miniatures and one to read the rules. Each piece has a unique mix of abilities and 'trigger' responses, as do some weapons. It is an intricate resource based game. You can only handle a few models per side. I enjoyed the game and got the feel of a game turn. More, when I understand the game better.


My team's army, Archanists.


Our opponents launch an attack.

    The only thing about it I know is the miniatures which are very nice but a large scale I believe.

    Dear Lurker
    The miniatures are GW scale. Easily fit into 28ml.

    That's a fantastic board and set of terrain pieces. Some less common ideas in the stumps, swampy river, tipis and enclosure.

    Dear Porky
    Yes, not mine, regretfully.
