Fluxx the Board Game Review - with Tom Vasel

[@DarkMite2]

I played a demo game sponsored by Looney Labs. The demonstrators said that a peg board tray is coming. (They had the tray prototype there, that was made w/ a 3D printer & it really worked well.)

This review made my smile. The fact that you didn't hate it for some reason makes me want to buy, ringing endorsement or no.

I am a person who loves the card game. I recently received this game for Christmas. I haven't had the chance to play, but if I love the card, I feel like I'd love board game

What makes Fluxx so good is the chaos and uncertainty so because now they want strategy it puts me off. I was always uncertain but I can say now that it will not be in my collection of at least not for a while.

[@immortalsun]

Looks cool! Wish it were available in my country. Only the card game versions are. And I really want the Doctor Who version of the Fluxx card game, but it’s not available in my country either!

I just found this at a thrift store. Did you ever find a copy? I’m a fan of the original card game (and its various themed versions), and I like the board game at least as much - maybe more. I like the fact that you can strategize - the ability to move, play cards and rotate/uproot tiles in any order on your turn can lead to some effective plays. Is it as crazy and chaotic as the original? Yes, and maybe more so due to the rotating, wrapping and uprooting options. Is it as random? No, and I enjoy that part of it.

Just as I was thinking the peg boards looked flimsy, the peg popped out of the Wrap hole. Time 2:57 time

To me this seems heavily set in the "gateway game" pile. I'm honestly surprised at how theme-less it comes across; it almost seems abstract. That being said, It does seem like it might be a fun one to add to the collection (I tend to play with lots of non-gamers), and I LOVE that all the pawns are different shapes as well as colors (I'm assuming to assist color blindness). Keepin' it classy, Looney Labs!

[@atmosphinx]

I agree. will definitely wait till they release themed editions.

[@xshadowscreamx]

did that ever happen?

[@Jeff321]

I like Fluxx for what it is. Certainly not rushing out to buy this though.

[@Sandrockcstm]

"Tre-puh-DAY-shun" Tom, not "Tre-puh-DI-shun" ;). Great review, interesting to hear a more middle of the road conclusion for once instead of a big thumbs up or a big thumbs down!

[@bheurk]

Wait until they release the expansions...

[@Subcomandante73]

I really like Fluxx but this looks dumb. The components are dull, those peg holes will wear after a few plays and the pegs won't stay put, and there is no theme. I think i'll spend the money on buying Zombie Fluxx instead.

[@paintitswe]

Humm.. Maybe I should get this game.

[@Fissi0nChips]

And also manages to put the em-phasis on the wrong syl-able. Octa-gonal and hexa-gonal. Sheesh.

[@glmathgrant]

Tom Vasel fails to recognize the difference between a hexagon and an octagon. Details at 11.

[@CityofLight11]

Is anybody else offended by the drabness of the board? It might not seem so bad in real life, but it looks so dull and lifeless.

[@MassEffectFan113]

This game's board is as boring, dull and lifeless as Police Precinct.
