At Board Game Day at the local gaming store, I was fortunate to be invited over to play a game of Zombie Fluxx. I must admit to being very confused as the rules were explained and feeling as though maybe I should go over to the table where more familiar games awaited, but because I like zombie movies, I decided to sit through one game.

The cards were of high quality and featured cool artwork. Cards consisted of Creepers (Zombies!), Keepers (Items, Friends), Actions, Rules, and Goals. The basic rule is Draw one, Play one, but this will quickly change, and change, and change. Hence the name Fluxx as I discovered.

The game flowed surprisingly smoothly for something that started out in my brain as a confused mess. Once the cards started falling, there was rarely a pause in the action, as people tried to gain items to achieve the goal on the goal card and win the game. However, the goal keeps on switching, as each time a goal card is played, the old one goes into the discard pile. The moans and groans as the goal you almost had fulfilled goes away were priceless.

Although Zombie Fluxx will never sit in my personal pantheon of greatest games ever, it was a fun quick distraction and will probably find it's way into my collection in the near future as a good time filler that has tons of fun potential.

Glad to hear it - I think the Fluxx mechanism is tough to digest for strategy gamers - best laid plans and all that.

But I'm hoping the Zombie theme makes it a lot more fun!

Yes, my strategy gamer brain really had a hard time "getting it" at first, but the zombie theme was cool and the game surprisingly fun. Give it a go.

Is this promo card for Fluxx the original game? Or was it made for Zombie Fluxx?

Actually, your right, the card is for the Fluxx deck. :blush:

looks as if the back of the cards are identical. Couldn't it be added to the Zombie Fluxx deck too?

Yes, backs are same, but edge is serrated, so it would be possible to know the card in the deck.

Figured that there had to be something different about it.
Thanks:)
