Monty Python Fluxx
Great educational tool for teaching people the value of embracing change! After initial confusion of how the rules work - they really are that simple: pick a card, play a card, now obey the new rules, you learn how to think quickly in changing circumstances - the more quickly you adapt the morelikely you are to win.
Oh, and it's Monty Python based, for added sillyness...as if it were needed!

This review is based on Monty Python Fluxx.
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 might even be 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. The beauty is that once you know how to play one Fluxx game you can get stuck right in with any of the others.
As to be expected, the Monty Python version of Fluxx ties in with the Monty Python world. Expect to come across the Foot, The Finger of God, and a Resting Parrot in your search for the Holy Grail. Both King Arthur and Excalibur may help you to win, but watch out for The Grim Reaper, The Spanish Inquisition and the fluffy bunny (AKA the Killer Rabbit).
Knowing a bit about the Python world, such as being able to 'sing' a couple of bars of a Python song (hey, I'm a realist, I know that we can't all sing, well...), or being able to quote a few lines from any sketch or film will help but they're not essential to having fun with Monty Python Fluxx. (And there's no shortage of quotes online, if you don't have time to watch the films or programmes.)
On the whole, a quite enjoyable game to fill a spare bit of time. Having played Monty Python Fluxx, Martian Fluxx and Zombie Fluxx my personal preference is Zombie Fluxx but I do rate Monty Python Fluxx equal to Martian Fluxx. So second equal and for that reason alone I am limited to giving it just four stars; this is really a 4.5 star game only held back by another version which is just slightly more appropriate for a wider audience (if you don't know anything about the Python world and are a little bit partial to the odd Zombie...).

My 3 teenage children and I played this endlessly over Christmas/New Year hols. The youngest can't quote MontyP to the extent of the other 2 but knew enough to enjoy the game. The greatest aspect of the game is the rule changing - just as you get used to one rule someone plays another one and the whole game changes! Certainly keeps you on your toes.
If you're not into Monty Python or don't get the humour this game probably isn't for you, especially if you play against MP die hard fans.
