Sometimes you only realise you've had a very good day of your life a couple of weeks later. For instance, the pack of Fluxx found in a real treasure trove of a charity shop in the West Midlands for 50p wasn't opened for a few weeks. Who could tell those were wasted weeks, and the actual finding of the card game was really something to be savoured? There are several versions of Fluxx available; the free and easy ethos of the game is such that you can probably use several decks at the same time, although the Stoner Fluxx cards have unique backs (maaaan). The standard version seems to be 3.0, some people advertise a 3.1, there's a family edition, and an ...  Read the complete review

We will start with the specifics of the game. It comes in a small, clourful box and contains 100 cards and the rules...... sort of. With most games reviews, a lot of mention is made regarding the rules, and how the game plays. This is very difficult to do while reviewing this game, as the rules tend to change every time someone plays a card. The objective is to win. How do you win? It depends on getting a card with instructions how to win! The first card that is played is the initial rules card which tells you to draw a card and play a card, from then, conventional gameplay is out of the window. The cards come 4 different styles.

Fluxx is an innovative, original little game where the rules change all the time. You start off with the "Basic Rules", but no one can win until a goal card is played which tells you what you need to win. These are usually "when you have card X and Y in front of you, you win" but there are others like "first to reach 10 cards in hand". Cards can be played at any time which change the number of cards you draw, the number you discard, the number you play, etc., and there are cards which "tax" the players with most cards or goals or "penalise" the players with least. The goal can change at any time too, replacing the ...  Read the complete review
