Fluxx Review

What was fun? My group played the space themed Fluxx. I thought all the references to various sci-fi media was a lot of fun! These included Star Trek (expendable crew member in a red shirt) and Doctor Who (the Goal was to get the Doctor card and the Time Traveler card), two of my all time favorite things. I appreciate all the various rules that can come into play. For me, the best part of the game is trying to be compliant with all of the rules set up throughout the game or even using the rules in a specific order to win!

Interaction between players? Ethan was openly bored and unhappy with the game, so sometimes I felt like I had to remind him it was his turn. It made the game a little hard to enjoy when he clearly wasn’t into it.

How long to learn? I already knew how to play basic Fluxx, but it did take two or three rounds to get the space theme’s own rules (like computer viruses or holographic projectors).

Would I play again? Heck yeah I would play again! I actually have two different versions of Fluxx at my own home (Marvel and Star Trek: Voyager).
