A new Grand Daughter and Fluxx

7/13/2005 1:26 PM - My Granddaughter Zoey Summer born!! She was 20 inches long and 7 lbs 10 oz.

While we were awaiting her arrival her mother, grandmother and myself played Fluxx. Fluxx is a card game by Looney Labs (who also produces Icehouse the subject of a previous post). Fluxx starts out easy enough 3 cards per person and each turn you draw one card and play one card. Also as you start there is no way to win the game (hang in there a second we'll get to the winning directly). As you play you can put down keepers in front of you (cards like cookies, milk, sleep, brains etc.), or a goal like, for instance 'cookies and milk' (if 'cookies and milk' is the goal than the player with both 'cookies' and 'milk' keepers in play wins). So what's the big deal you say? Well other players can change the goals and the rules as well as take your cards and a whole bunch of other things that keeps the game in a constant state of ...well... Fluxx. This is a great game as well in that my 12 and 14 year olds can understand and enjoy it as much as adults. Go get your self a copy!
