A Wacky Card Game You Have to Try

If you are looking for a fun card game that doesn't have one iota of seriousness in it, you should give Fluxx 4.0 a try.

Fluxx will make you laugh - no doubt

Fluxx is a game with constantly changing rules. That's what makes it fairly unique compared to most card games.

I'll let the folks at Looney Labs describe the game. Heck, they only invented the thing.

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 drew 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.
The object of the game will often change as you play, as players swap out one Goal card for another. Can you get the Rocket to the Moon before someone changes the goal to Death by Chocolate?

If you are super competitive, or you like games that rely a lot on strategy, this may not be your mug of root beer.

But if you want to spend a couple hours with friends and family, and laugh a lot (a whole lot), it's worth a go the next time you get together.

Basics:

# of Players: 2-5
Ages: 8-Adult
Play time: 5-30 minutes

Cost: about $14 a your local game shop, less on Amazon


This is just the standard edition. Looney Labs has created a bunch of theme games that will delight and thrill fans of the standard game who are looking for even more hilarity.

Some of the theme decks include:

  • Pirate Fluxx
  • Zombie Fluxx
  • Oz Fluxx
  • Martian Fluxx
  • Cthulhu Fluxx
  • Monty Python Fluxx
Give it a try and let me know if it was a hit or a miss on your game night.
