Once a month, on the third Saturday of each month, come play Malifaux at the Carcosa Club! New players and experienced players alike are welcome. You can play your first game ever, a serious practice match for your next tournament, or anything in between!
*Please buy a Malifaux Monthly ticket for each event you attend.*
Join the Malifaux NYC Discord ahead of time to introduce yourself and arrange a match:
Here is the standard schedule for Malifaux Monthly:
Doors Open 9:45am Morning Game 10:00am - 1:00pm Lunch Break 1:00pm - 2:00pm Afternoon Game 2:00pm - 5:00pm Cleanup 5:00pm - 5:30pm
This schedule is designed to encourage games to start and end at around the same time, so it’s easier for folks to get two games in, get lunch together, etc. But this schedule is loose. Feel free to arrange games whenever you like, so long as they start no earlier than 10:00am and end no later than 5:00pm.
By default, Malifaux Monthly games will be played using Fourth Edition rules and the latest Gaining Grounds document, with chess clocks set to 1h15m per player (pausing between turns). When you run out of time, you may still score points and win the game, but you cannot activate models, cheat fate, empower duels, spend soulstones, etc.
However, if the players agree, you can use a different time limit; you can nix chess clocks altogether; or you can use variant rules. Go nuts!
We usually have enough mats and terrain to set up a few tables, but I recommend arranging matches ahead of time on the Discord so that the organizers know how many tables we'll need. Or, to be on the safe side, just plan on bringing your own mat and terrain.
Here is the Malifaux Monthly schedule for the first half of 2026. In May, instead of Malifaux Monthly, we will be holding a tournament: the Spring Duel. There will be a separate event page (and a separate ticket) for the tournament, but it is listed here in the schedule for reference:
Saturday, January 17, 2026 Saturday, February 21, 2026 Saturday, March 21, 2026 Saturday, April 18, 2026 *Saturday, May 16, 2026 - Spring Duel* (We'll skip June and start up again in July!)
Reminders: -Be gentle with terrain, your opponent’s minis, battlemats, etc. Put things back where you found them and store them properly. -Treat the space well. If you eat a snack during a game, grab a red tray from the kitchen and put your food on top of it. The club has cup holders you can hook onto the sides of tables to hold beverages and prevent disastrous spills. Don’t leave food out and clean up after yourself.
