Advantages: Quick to teach/learn, Game duration is fairly quick, Every game turns out different

Disadvantages: Game does not require skill, Not much fun for only two or three players

My friends and I enjoy playing Fluxx when we're in the mood for a no-brainer. The game play is smooth and easy to understand. After one game, players understand the way it works and are usually enjoying themselves.


Play begins with three cards in your hand.

There are four card types.
New Rule, Goal, Keeper, Action

The game has one basic rule which is:
Draw one card
Play one card
Unlimited hand size
Unlimited number of keepers

Then, as cards are played, you discover what the object of the game is (Goal cards) and the basic rule is amended (New Rules)...
As people play Keepers, they try to meet a goal... only to be thwarted by their opponents. (usually on accident!)
The action cards throw in a bit of "zing" to the swift gameplay and usually messes up everyone's plans for victory.

I've found that the game can last anywhere from five minutes to an hour and a half... but usually ranges at about 30-45 minutes.

Even though people pick it up easily and find it to be unresistably fun, FLuxx tends to be a game of chance rather than skill.
Because of this, it makes an excellent "drinking" game.

Fluxx is highly portable since it's just a deck of cards.

Hope you enjoy it too!
