EcoFluxx 2.0 Review

Currently Listening To: 
"The Charade" by the Elect the Dead Symphony

EcoFluxx was another game sent to me by Looney Labs. I quite enjoyed this nature themed version of Fluxx and am glad they sent it. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to play the first version of this game so I will not be able to point out the differences between the two.

One thing I quite enjoyed was that Looney Labs sent with it a promo postcard for the card "Recycling." Recycling is a new rule card that says "Once per turn you may discard a Keeper you have on the table and Draw 3 extra cards."

What's really nice is that Looney Labs is using a new system for their postcards that uses a peel off sheet that holds the card to the post card. This means the cards don't have those punch out edges any more and can actually be used in the game. Allison from Looney Labs recommended that you peel from the side and not the corner with the new postcards to prevent possible splitting.

Reviews of Eco-Fluxx and Family Fluxx also on the way

So yeah USPS lost my review copies of Chrononauts and Aquarius so their reviews are going to be delayed. After talking to Looney Labs they decided to wait and ship them out with the new versions of Eco-Fluxx and Family Fluxx when they become available. They also requested I review them separately so I will be reviewing all Looney Labs products separately per their request.

Double Review: Stoner Fluxx & Martian Fluxx

When I was at DaishoCon I was able to pick up two new games to review. The first being Stoner Fluxx which I bought from my good friends at ChAdam Games, and the other one being Martian Fluxx which I bought from Gnome Games because the vendor room was closed. I picked both of these games up for a reasonable price and was able to find some people at the convention to try them out with.

Fluxx 4.0

So apparently they are giving Fluxx a complete makeover. All the cards will be in color now, they are adding some new cards, and they are adding a new rule type. I am pretty excited about this I just hope that Fluxx 4.0 will be compatible with some of my 3.1 decks like Monty Python Fluxx and Zombie Fluxx.

My Long Awaited review of Monty Python Fluxx

Currently Listening To: 
"The Scion" by Cwn Annwn

When I first received Monty Python Fluxx I was impressed by the box. It was bigger than other fluxx decks and I really enjoyed the artwork on the front. It really conveyed "this is a Monty python game" very well. The only thing that I wished they would have changed about the packaging is unlike the basic fluxx deck they don't list how many ways there are to win (31).

Now that we have covered the packaging lets talk about what's inside the packaging. The cards are the same high quality I have grown to expect with Looney Labs games. Like other fluxx games they used a different font in the card type titles to differentiate it from basic Fluxx. I wish they used a font that was a little less similar to that of the Basic Fluxx but it works.

Monty Python Fluxx is coming, eventually

So yeah Monty Python Fluxx has been delayed. According to the site I think it started shipping yesterday but yeah it's late. But that's no big deal. I am just writing this so people don't think I forgot about the review. Either way I expect it will be well worth the wait.

Getting a Review Copy of Monty Python Fluxx

So I just got off the phone with Looney Labs and my request to get a review copy of Monty Python Fluxx has been accepted. So when they start printing I will be able to get a copy and write a review here. I am guessing I will be getting the copy sometime in September, so look for the review than. I am almost dancing with fanboy joy.

Monty Python Fluxx on the way


So there is a version of Fluxx coming based on Monty Python. I can't wait to mix this with my deck of Fluxx and Zombie Fluxx.
