the basic game of Fluxx was something that never really appealed to me. Sure I would have played it if someone had offered. But there was never any real theme that caught me as being interesting enough for me to buy it.

Then Zombie Fluxx came out, oh boy, oh boy!!! Anything featuring zombies and the coins in my pocket burn so much!!!

You get a decent sized deck of cards (100) featuring a variety of zombie groups 'Creepers', and weapons/items 'Keepers', as well as a stack of 'brilliantly titled' Goal cards which depict the games aim.

The artwork is very good. Comical, colourful and well drawn, and the cards are a good size.

The basic rules are pretty easy to follow, then the game makes up it's own constantly changing ruleset as you lay down 'New Rule' cards. Sometimes things get a little out of hand. e.g. draw three, play five, discard back down to one etc, etc, but it all adds to the fun & chaos. Sometimes the rules do get reset back to normal & by this time you really feel the pressure lift.

The Creepers are great. Everytime you're requested to draw a card and you pick a Creeper it goes on the table in front of you and you draw again. During some bad shuffles we've had 6-7 drawn straight after each other. Don't worry about them harming you though, they mainly stop you from completing your Goal, although there is the odd occasion where a stack of Zombies are required, like with 'Zombie Baseball Team'. But most Goals require a zombie free area, and when you have cards like Chainsaw, Car, Baseball bat, Gasoline, you can usually knock a few into the discard pile, or into another players area.

Packaging is OK. The deck has to be split 50/50 to fit into the box along with the rulebook. I'd maybe have preferred a single deck package, but then the artwork would've probably been too small.

If you're a fan of Fluxx you'll enjoy Zombie Fluxx, If you're a fan of Zombies 'AND' Fluxx you'll absolutely love Zombie Fluxx.

Overall: 7.5 cans of Zombie Repellent out of 10.
