Fluxx is a fairly slow paced game. The first act sees players slowly collecting and playing keepers, and setting early goals and rules. The second act is the bulk of the game. The rules will be changing, which changes how much you can do in a turn and affecting your strategy. The third act is nebulous as one player can still be trying to find their path to victory while another can be ready with a big play that will end the game. It is never clear who is closest to victory as the goalposts can move at any time. It is a game that takes some getting used to and benefits from being played multiple times.
