Looney Labs 5512576 Game Star Fluxx
The wonderful artwork aside - this game has it all. Educational (for me the teacher)and high interest fun (for students)and can be played by 2 or more because the rules have included how to do this.
With five levels of play, anyone in my class can have fun and learn some chemistry while engaging higher level thinking to beat their opponent. We could get started quickly playing the element level and as they were ready for more sophisticated play, we moved to the next level.
I enjoy Magic the Gathering and this has some of those elements while still teaching about the Periodic Table. Love the blank cards so they can create new characters (wonderful writing assignment to tie in with science)
Box is sturdy as well as the cards. Good thing cuz play can get intense when everyone is down to the last card or too. Very clever having the discard pile called the toxic waste dump too. Did not feel or look cheesy at all.
So glad I got this!
ITs like your in space, and playing with space themes. My friends and I really enjoyed play with this fluxx. I also own few other fluxx games... all of them are fun espically when you create your own rules and mix them with other fluxxs. very cool, and longer as well but fun.

BalasHapusWe own original, zombie, martian, pirate and star. While we do play the others we always choose this one first. When playing with new players we always choose this version as well. Our favorite, by far. We really enjoy the Keepers in this version as most have additional "powers" that go along with them. Also, the surprise cards are lots of fun (or a pain in the arse, depending on what end you are on, lol).
BalasHapusThis game is so fun! The rules always change, strategy is almost non existent, even the game you have going in your hand may not be there for long. Yet in all the chaos you can't help but laugh and have a good time. You could even turn it into a hilarious drinking game. ;)
BalasHapusIf you've never played FLUXX, then this is a fine introduction to the game. All versions share similar rules and the basic game is original and fun, with nary a learning curve to stop novice players from enjoying it. If you are (or know someone who is) a sci-fi movie fan, then this is a must buy. Most movies and shows in the genre are referenced in thinly veiled quips that consistently bring a smile to my face. FLUXX itself is a fun game even for 2 people, although the entertainment increases with more people. I am quite pleased with the purchase.
BalasHapusI love the addition of keepers that have abilities. I also wish that there was a pack that integrates this version with the original. Like Cookies for the captain or other goals that use the original game and the Star Fluxx Keepers.
BalasHapusIf you enjoy card games and sci-fi themes such as Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who there is no way you will not enjoy this game!
BalasHapusThere may be a way to win this game other than by pure luck, but we've yet to find it. Still, the gameplay is fun, and the cards witty.
