I love bringing mini games to cons. I love clean competitive play and have won multiple 100+ people adepticon events for different systems.

With that said, I am buying into Malifaux so i checked out the tournament rules. They look like you just name a faction. Then when you see your opponent and the scenario you build a list using any models from your faction.

This seems like some pay to win bullshit. I can’t even buy all the models in my faction right now due to stock issues. It’s also going to take me sooo much time to paint an entire faction.

I love the standard bring two lists pick 1 some games use. I love how MCP does list construction from 10 models. I could see some fun list construction rules in this game, but the entire faction seems like Wyrd trying to make money rather than a fun tournament format.

For people who do bring this game to cons or local tournaments, what is your experience?

Hey. I had a demo last night and really enjoyed it. I am looking at buying into the Bayou.

Typically when I buy into a mini game I way over buy. I see no reason why this should be any different.

I am a hobbyist first, but still a competitive mini game player. It looks like a goblin in a mech and the drunken master would be fun places to start. Their silly sculpts were the only faction that really made me excited to paint them.

If I wanted to buy all the models Mah Tucket and The brewmaster would ever consider for a 50 point list, what should I buy?

Thank you.

I just picked up Freedom Five kick starter edition. It looks like I should pick up the sleeve pack. Is there anything else I should get?

I see there is the cosmic threats box. Is that something I should pick up right away or only get after I have played 10+ times and want to add some more variety?

The couple reviews I have seen to indicate that the free play version of the game is better than the campaign. Should I just jump right into free play or do the campaign?

Freight trains card says something about placing a 2nd anarchy token after he moves. That implies a first after a move. I don’t remember seeing any rule that says villains drop an anarchy token after a move. Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help.

I beat the game after it first came out. Loved it. Around the end of act 2 I used a guide to find all the little cool things in the game. I remember a hidden cave where I learned a lot about Fane’s story and what connects the void woken with source. I think Fane eventually left my party in that cave.

Now I am playing it with a group of friends. A 4 man and a 3 man depending on who shows up for the night. In the 4 man we in the 4th act and are about ready to face the final battle. We did not discover that cave. I want to make sure we find it in the 3 man. We are almost done with act 3. Does anyone remember what cave I am talking about?
