What it is

A chaotic card game for 2 to 6, perfect for anyone who finds ordinary rules a bit too settled. It starts simply: draw one card, play one card. New Rule cards then change how many you draw, play or hold, and Goal cards change which Keepers you need to win. A game can end in five minutes or run to thirty, and you rarely know which until it happens.

What we love

  • Simple start: draw one, play one
  • Fluxx 5.0 sticks to four card types: Keepers, Goals, Actions and New Rules
  • Dozens of themed editions to choose from

Honest trade-offs

  • Very high luck, and a game can end on a random draw
  • Skip Stoner Fluxx and Drinking Fluxx, adult editions that fall outside our content policy
  • Chaos is the point, so planners may get frustrated
