This review is from: Zombie Fluxx Card Game (Toy)
This review is based on Zombie Fluxx.
Zombie Fluxx is one of the series of Fluxx card games. Of the three Fluxx games that I have played, Zombie, Monty Python and Martian, I have enjoyed Zombie the most. I'm not sure what it is about the combination of the cards and rules, but I have definitely enjoyed Zombie Fluxx much more than the others. Oh, you don't know what Fluxx games are? The basic Fluxx rules (these stand for all versions of Fluxx) are simple: each player is dealt three cards, then each turn a player draws another card from the deck and then plays a card down. How do you win? Urm, well, that's less easily answered... There are five types of cards, Creepers (generally bad, but sometimes you need them to win), Goals (these tell how you can win; you have to play one before anyone can win, oh, and there's an Anti-Goal, which means the game wins...), Keepers (these help you to reach a goal), Actions (things that you can do on your turn) and New Rules. The New Rules are the essence of the Fluxx games; as a game progresses players get to place down new rules, or even to remove them. As such the combination of rules in play at any one time can be wildly different from what they were a couple of minutes ago, or in a couple of minutes time. This might sound like it can get confusing, but it is generally quite easy to follow and all of the main rules are written on the cards which are played. Games take anything from a couple of minutes to half an hour or so. Two players can have fun, but the game tends to be more enjoyable with about four players. The Fluxx games are easily transported, taking up little more space than two standard packs of playing cards side by side, but do require a reasonable amount of table space, a 4'(1.2m) square table being ideal for four players. If you own more than one of the Fluxx games you can even mix them together. Zombie Fluxx focuses on a "Shaun Of The Dead" type environment; Zombies are out there and you have to survive. You can do this by collecting essential items, like the Sandwich, Coffee and a Doughnut, or by escaping in the Car (you might need the Fuel Can). Along the way you might want to get hold of the Chainsaw or Shotgun, to try and get rid of any Zombies that have attached themselves to you. If all else fails and you've got a dozen Zombies that you just can't get rid of, get hold of the Baseball Bat and form a Zombie Baseball Team to win!

This review is from: Zombie Fluxx Card Game (Toy)
In this adaptation of the standard Fluxx game, you also have to contend with a high number of Creeper cards which represent an endless swarm of zombies, and which usually hinder your chance of winning. Keepers are all the kind of weaponry or paraphernalia you find in zombie films, such as shotguns, chainsaws, bits of wood, petrol cans, etc. Goals usually involve you having combinations of these, although certain goals require you having zombies in play, which means that you might find that those zombies you spent several rounds trying to get rid of are now more useful than you thought. The other Rules and Actions are mostly repeats of the standard game cards.
I liked the theme of Zombie Fluxx, and it makes for more of a cohesive playing experience than normal Fluxx, because, if you squint, you can imagine you're roleplaying a zombie holocaust scenario, which is always a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, naturally. The large number of Creepers add variety and it's fun to move them around between players (different zombies have different rules attached to them), and the use of Action cards to steal Keepers so that you have the right combination of weaponry is great. The usual issue of Fluxx is still there, though, which is that it's so random that it's hard to keep any strategy going for long. But that's surely the point: Fluxx (this or any other variety) isn't a long, involved game, but a brief, silly game that you can play a few rounds of to while away an hour or so without having to tax your brain too much. In this it's ideal as a warm-up or cool-down game for your gaming session, or just something to take on holiday and play in large groups with a few beers. 3.5 stars out of 5

This review is from: Zombie Fluxx Card Game (Toy)
None of us had played Zombie Fluxx before, some of us had played the generic fluxx before and some had never played any fluxx before - but we all agreed after just one game that Zombie Fluxx is fantastic fun. It's fun learning how to play the game and then gets even more fun as you get the hang of it.
My only draw-back is the instructions could be more detailed to cover all eventualities on zombies and how weapons can be used. For example, what if someone has placed the zombie quartet on top of the card pile and then the next person has a repellant card - does the quartet go back on top of the card pile after the person draws another card from underneath it?
