Fluxx Descriptions

Fluxx

Play cards and alter the rules in this ever-changing card game! 

Description:

Fluxx is a card game in which the cards themselves determine the current rules of the game. By playing cards, you change numerous aspects of the game: how to draw cards, how to play cards, and even how to win.

At the start of the game, each player holds three cards and on a turn a player draws one card, then plays one card. By playing cards, you can put new rules into play that change numerous aspects of the game: how many cards to draw or play, how many cards you can hold in hand or keep on the table in front of you, and (most importantly) how to win the game. There are many editions, themed siblings, and promo cards available.

A silly game of the silly English kuh-nih-gets from that silly place, Camelot!

Bring a Shrubbery to the Knights Who Say Ni! Lob the Holy Hand Grenade at the Killer Rabbit with Nasty Big Teeth! Just do it quick, before the Goal changes again!

With tons of Holy Grail material, and a healthy smattering of references from Flying Circus and the other movies, this should be a riot for anyone who knows even a little about Monty Python. Fluxx is the perfect medium for the show that brought us Something Completely Different at every turn.
