What Is Malifaux?

Malifaux is the name of Wyrd's premier game. It is a skirmish level miniatures wargame involving gang warfare in the ruins of an abandoned city. According to the game's backstory, the city of Malifaux was discovered through a portal into another world. This world is a source of the valuable mineral known as "soulstone" which allows for magical effects. Games pit masters and their crews against one another for control of this resource.

Released at Gen Con in August '09, Malifaux uses a unique card mechanic in lieu of dice. Numbers are randomly generated by drawing numbered cards from a "Fate Deck." A number of mechanics in the game allow for manipulating this draw. Malifaux features five different factions and associated miniatures for use in their game.
