Fluxx: 5.0

Nice game for both adults and kids. easy to understand and fun for 2 or more players

I love the Fluxx series so much, and while I may play some of the other versions more often (I'll explain why at the end of this review), this and Monty Python Fluxx are my two absolute favorites! Fluxx is the perfect go-to game if you want something fast-paced, fun and easy to learn. Because the explanation and basic rules of the game are so simple, I've found that it's equally fun for brand-new players as for those who've played it before. Everything is explained on each card, so you can give very minimal instructions to new players and they'll pick it up easily. We usually use this as a warm-up game on game nights with friends and family, before moving on to more strategy-based games. Since I mentioned strategy, I will give you one word of caution: this is not a game for those who are looking for something with elaborate strategy and get frustrated when the plan they've been working on for several rounds either doesn't work out or backfires. The nature of the game is to be ever-changing, so you have to be willing to go with the flow. You can have some strategy, of course, but you have to be willing to see it blow up in front of you in seconds--and then laugh about it! A word about this version of the game: in my opinion, this particular version is best played when you're playing with fans of Sci Fi. This version is based around references to popular sci-fi film and television series (Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, etc.), and really I think it's funniest when you understand the references. It is playable with people who don't know their Sci Fi, but I don't think it's as much fun for them. Also, because of the special powers of some cards in the game it is a slightly more complex version of Fluxx than others--I wouldn't start anyone out with this unless they're playing with others that have played it before.

I really like this game. A lot. It's simple to understand and very interesting because the goals and the rules can keep changing. The game is constantly in flux. It's fun and really likeable but I would advise you to play it with a group of people that like trying out different things and experimenting and do not expect games to -always- finish within 15 minutes.

Bought because I had a buddy who introduced me to this game. It is fantastic and a lot of fun. Basic premise is that its a card came that starts with the basic rule of draw 1 card and play 1 card. You need to place a goal card onto the table as well as the two keepers list on the card to win. However there are several rule, action and surprise cards that keep the game in constant flux. There are cards that limit your hand, limit your keepers, change how many cards to draw\play, cards that can steal keepers, swap hands and cards that prevent all these things from being done. It is a 2-6 player game and typically plays for 10-40 mins. I strongly recommend.

Fluxx es un juego genial en todas sus versiones, pero para los amantes de la ciencia ficción esta versión ( Card Game-Star Fluxx ) es la mejor. Está repleto de referencias a las mejores sagas de literatura y cine del género, algunas más sutiles que otras, pero a cual más ocurrente y divertida. Recomiento ver el episodio sobre Star Fluxx de TableTop (de Wil Wheaton) en YouTube.

Lots of fun. Allows me to play with friends. And I love zombies.
