MALIFAUX uses cards, not dice, and the beautifully illustrated card pack is called a FATE DECK. Instead of the standard suits, this deck uses the four suits of Malifaux: Rams, Crows, Tomes, and Masks. In addition, the deck also indicates Weak, Moderate, and Severe to make their use in Malifaux easier. Made of high-quality linen cardstock. Two Fate Decks are needed to play the game, one for each player.
