FLUXX – The Game Of Ever Changing Rules
FLUXX is an amazingly fun card game that can be played by anyone. It is an easy game to learn as the rules start out very simple, but the game’s rules are constantly changing during game play. I guess you could say that the rules of the game are in a state of constant flux! Fluxx has even won awards from MENSA (The High IQ Society) for being such a great game.
How To Play Fluxx
The Rules Are Simple, Yet Always Changing
Players: 2-5.Playtime: 5-30 minutes.
Ages: 8-Adult.
It all begins with one basic rule: Draw one card, Play one card. You start with a hand of three cards… add the card you draw to your hand, and then choose one card to play, following the directions written on your chosen card. As cards are drawn and played from the deck, the rules of the game change from how many cards are drawn, played or even how many cards you can hold at the end of your turn. This game is super fun because of how the rules are constantly changed by the players playing this tabletop card game.
There are Rules cards, Action cards, Goals, Keepers, & Creeper cards in the Fluxx game. The fun of this game comes from the ever changing rules and changing win conditions. The action cards are also great fun because you can switch the turn order, trade hands, steal cards and Keepers, take an extra turn, and so much more.

I Even Met The Creator Of FLUXX
Andrew Looney Is A Cool Guy Too!
A few years back I was attending the annual Origins Gaming Convention in Columbus, Ohio. I was there playing in the MageKnight National Championships, which I ended up placing in 5th place. It was an amazing weekend of gaming, but the room I spent most of my free time it happened to be the Looney Labs room which was manned by staff from the Looney Labs company. Here we were allowed to play Fluxx and other table top card games that were created by Looney Labs. It was a super fun room to hang in and was great playing all of the Fluxx variants and the other games from the creators.While I was wandering the massive Origins vendor floor, I happened upon the booth manned by Andrew Looney and his wife. They were both dressed in mad scientist coats and were greeting the gamers wandering by their vendor booth. I must say that both Mr. Looney and his wife were very friendly and down to earth people. For taking the time to stop by and chat with the Looney Labs crew, Andrew Looney himself pulled out a special edition Promo Fluxx card from deep within his lab coat. He pulled out this super rare promo card and asked for my name.
The Promo card was the “Andy Looney” card, which is playable in the Fluxx game. He autographed the card for me and he had drawn a speech bubble that said, “Hi Scott!” That personalized the Promo card for me, but the cool thing was that anytime the card is played during a game, per the card’s text, I had to explain about the time I met the creator and how I got this card. That definately made my deck feel a bit more special than anyone else’s Fluxx deck, because I met the creator and had the promo card to prove it!
Since then, they have released many more promo cards for Fluxx, except now you can purchase them for a small price. You don’t have to attend a major gaming convention to get your very own promo cards.
