Which is the correct pronunciation to "Malifaux"?

**Owen Ojo De Lobo** · 07-22-2009, 05:54 PM

Maybe is not a big issue, but is something that my folks are asking repeatly...

So... What way is the correct? "malifox"? "malifeus"? What??!!

I always pronounced it "Mal-eh-fo", like in the word "go."

(But that may just be my three years of French acting up again... :D)

One of my playtest group has a...unique...pronunciation for it that can't be repeated on the forums (or in most polite company, really).

Rhymes with crux...

I had it easy, as my gradeschool was Bordeaux... so the pronunciation came natural to me. But I had others at our LGS struggle a tiny bit.

I always assumed it was mal - eh - fo, although it did strike me as strange that there don't seem to be many french people in or around malifaux. I think I like Keltheos's pronunciation better though!

I find it funny that one of the few non-European Skirmish games out there has a very French sounding name

I'm gonna use Keltheos's pronunciation everytime I lose, which is a lot.

I got a good chuckle out of that one :P.

If I recall well, Stéphane coined up the name.

And if Nathan still goes for the french pronounciation, it's : mal-ee-fo.
