Malifaux, a twisted mirror of an alternate Earth in the 1900s; a world of gothic horror, Victorian structures, nd wild west gunslingers. Rif e with undead amalgamations, monstrous vengeful apparitions, and other creatures that bump in the night, these near-lawless lands are still worth treading for some, as the Soul stones deep within the cavernous catacombs are worth more than the sweat and blood it takes to obtain them.. Malifaux Third Edition is a story-driven skirmish game where two players fight one of the endless skirmishes for control over the towns, settlements, and places of power in this dangerous new world. In Malifaux, the events from its extensive lore are directly carried into the characters' mechanics.
