Product Description

Fluxx is a cool new card game. Fluxx is...

  • Easy to learn - The game teaches itself!
  • Fun for everyone - kids and adults, gamers and non-gamers... everyone loves Fluxx!
  • Non-collectible - the whole game comes in a single box!
  • Fast paced, fun, and totally unpredictable!
  • Fun for groups of up to 6, but fun even with just 2 players!
  • Unlike any other game you've ever played!

There are 4 kinds of cards in Fluxx:

  1. Keepers:
    You put these out on the table in front of you when you play them.
  2. Goals:
    When someone plays a goal, it stays in the center of the table until a new goal takes its place. To win, you simply need to do whatever the goal says. Most of the time, the goal requires you to have a couple of particular Keepers on the table in front of you. As soon as any player achieves the current goal, that player wins!
  3. New Rules:
    This is where the fun really starts. When the game begins, the only rules are that you draw 1 card per turn and play 1 card per turn. But when you play a New Rule, these rules are either changed or added to. New Rules change the number of cards drawn and played per turn as well as the number of cards you are allowed to hold in your hand, the number of Keepers you can have, bonuses for players who have particular Keepers, and more.
  4. Actions:
    These are 1 time use cards that let you do fun stuff like stealing someone else's Keeper, getting rid of a rule you don't like, drawing more cards, and so on.

Games Magazine Reviews

Robin King

Fluxx is a self-referential game. To start, everyone gets three cards, draws, and plays a card on their turn. That basic rule changes if someone plays a New Rule card. What's the object? You won't know until someone plays a Goal card. Goals and Rules apply to everyone, and supersede those previously played if there is a conflict. There are also Keeper cards, which are refereed to by the Goal cards and played in front of you. To play an Action card, follow its instruction and then discard it. Is this game a paradox? No, but it's certainly unorthodox.

I love this game

Name another game that lets you make up your own rules? If you love a game that plays different everytime and can take 3 minutes or 30 mintues, you'll love FLUXX. Buy the blank cards and make your own rules. Take out the cards you don't like. Have fun. Don't take it too seriously.

Unpredictable Fun
Ben Lott
January 26, 2005

Our group of gamers loves this game. The genius is the fact that nothing can be accurately predicted. Essentially, you can have plans but if you don't complete them in one turn everything could change before you get another turn. But that is what makes it fun! We can't help but laugh when everyone has ten cards in hand and suddenly a "Play All" hits the table. How do you decide the order you want to play ten cards? Well don't think too hard, by the time it's your turn someone might play a "Hand Limit 0", and all ten cards in your hand will end up in the discard pile.

The aspect that sets this game apart as, perhaps, the best ice-breaker game ever is the late-joiner rule. If you are waiting on someone to join your group you can start playing without them. When they arrive they merely draw three cards and they are already playing. With the ever-changing rules and goals the new-comer has just as much of a chance to win as anyone else. This game is a must-try!

A different and unusual game
A Gamer
July 14, 2004

My kids adore this game. They are 8, 12 & 15 and it is something that keeps them all amused. I admit that I didn't understand how to play it right away, but they figured it out and taught me. What makes it so interesting is that each game is different than the one before.
