Demofaux

While visiting Kuhmo, I introduced Malifaux to an old friend of mine.

We did two demo games - first with 20 soulstones and no strategy or schemes just to get the hang of basics and then soon after another with 20 soulstones + master with Reckoning and one scheme.

First round was Madame Sybelle and two Rotten Belles versus Philip & Nanny with three Crooligans. The first round went pretty easily to Madame Sybelle's crew, as the kids weren't able to toss enough sharp debris at the belles.

Then we added the masters and schemes, and things got interesting. Crooligans had easy time setting up Harness the Ley Lines, and Philip & Nanny dodged astonishing amount of assassination attempts after Seamus landed a moderate injury with his gun and then charged in with his barber gear. Philip just didn't want a new haircut. Once Seamus committed, Necrotic Construct charged him and let Molly to activate and start asking Seamus some questions. This brought Seamus down to three health remaining, with one poison counter.

This game went for Molly, as in the last round a Crooligan was able to charge Seamus dead after he had heard a disturbing story, which brought him down to one health remaining. Both players scored strategy twice, and Molly scored scheme twice. Had the child not succeeded in killing the enemy master, it would have likely been a draw as opponent would've easily dispatched of the Crooligan, scoring Dig Their Graves.
