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 ticket for each Monthly Event
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 the latest version of Gaining Grounds, with chess clocks set to 1h30m per player, using the Malifaux World Series chess clock rules, which you can find at this link:

However, if the players mutually agree, you can use a different time limit; you can nix chess clocks altogether; or you can use variant rules. Go nuts!
It’s generally a good idea to plan on bringing your own Malifaux mat and terrain. The club has some mats and terrain that we can use, but most of the mats aren’t Malifaux-specific, and only some of the terrain is appropriate for Malifaux. When in doubt, arrange games ahead of time in the Discord and sort out which mats and terrain you’ll be using before you arrive.
Here is the Malifaux Monthly schedule for 2025. In May and November, instead of Malifaux Monthly, we will be holding tournaments: the Spring Duel (on May 17, 2025) and the Autumn Duel (on November 15, 2025). There will be separate event pages (and separate tickets) for each of those tournaments, but they’re listed here in the schedule for reference:
January 18, 2025
February 15, 2025
March 15, 2025

Finally, some general etiquette stuff:
-Be nice and respectful to each other. The organizers reserve the right to ask you to leave if you’re being a jerk. If you encounter a problem with another player, please notify an organizer and we’ll address it.
-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. Clean up after yourself.
-Don’t, you know, cheat.
-It’s of course fine to chat about the game, about what models you own, about what crews you’re planning to try out, etc. But don’t try to glean information about your opponent’s crew before a game just to counter-pick them. Not cool!
