Thanks for the birthday wishes, Meepledrone! It was a great day of fun and a great haul of board games (and a few other things). And I won 2 out of 3 games of King of Tokyo too.

Ooooooh!!! Awesome!!!

Have lots of fun!

BTW, I'm a great fun of Fluxx... I'd appreciate your thoughts about the board game version. Thank you in advance.

Just gave Fluxx the Board Game a go, and the fam and I all like it! The shifting rules are very Fluxx-like, but the board elements give it a lot more strategy. You can actually plan your card play and board moves toward a goal and not rely on as much luck as regular Fluxx. For this reason, I think we like the gameplay better than Fluxx. Regularly playing blue, I also especially like the blue meeples that it came with.

The only thing I would fault is the bland artwork (of mundane things like a toaster, loaf of bread, and things like that). Fluxx does theme very well (be it Star Trek, Doctor Who, super heroes or, one of my favorite Fluxxes, Jumanji). The theme for the Board Game is very underwhelming and could've benefitted greatly by using the art styles of any of the previous mentioned Fluxxes. (Hey, Andy Looney, if you're reading this, you do a million versions of Fluxx. Why don't you do any other versions of the board game version??!) So in conclusion, if I were to rate the game, I'd give it a 9 for gameplay and a 7 for theme/art for an average score of 8.

Btw, speaking of Looney games, have you (or anyone else) tried any of their Pyramid games? I encourage anyone to check out Pyramid Arcade, which includes a bunch of super fun games.
