Products and brands
Malifaux
In 2009, Wyrd published its first game, Malifaux, set in a dystopian city in a parallel world. Currently utilizing the Fourth Edition of its rule-set, this skirmish miniatures game sees two players fighting over control of the mysterious Malifaux City and its surrounding areas. With its introduction, Malifaux introduced the primarily conflict system used in many of Wyrd's products—The Fate Deck. Fate Decks are standard Poker Decks (54 cards, 13 cards of four suits, with two Jokers) that are used to determine the outcome of any conflicts within a game of Malifaux.
Through the Breach
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2013, the tabletop role-playing game Through the Breach puts players into the world of Malifaux, the setting established by Wyrd's miniature games. Players, referred to as Fated, are guided through this world by a Fatemaster, fighting against the inhabitants of Malifaux in order to pursue their character's destiny. A second edition of the Core Rules for Through the Breach was published in 2017.
The Other Side
In 2017, once again using Kickstarter, Wyrd published its second miniatures game, The Other Side. Acting as a counterpart to Malifaux, The Other Side is a company-scale wargame, often pitting miniature armies of 40–50 combatants against each other in a fast-paced wargame. The game takes place within the same history as Malifaux, focusing on the conflicts of Earth and an alternate history 1908 where the world is tearing itself apart in war, fighting against amphibious hordes of monsters from the depths of an alien ocean and cultists worshiping a being of chaos floating through the skies of earth.
