Camping Fluxx – New Game Alert!

Camping Fluxx from Looney Labs available at Gnome Games

Let’s go camping!

Did you remember to bring the Tent and the Backpacks?  Did you remember the S’mores and to build the Campfire?  Hopefully the Mosquitoes stay away!

Enjoy all the fun of camping either out in nature or in your own home with Camping Fluxx from Looney Labs!

Fluxx is the card game where everything can change all the time, including the rules and how to win.  But don’t worry, as long as you can read and have a good poker face you’ll be on your way to being a Fluxx Champion!

The game starts with 3 cards for everyone and the basic rule: on your turn you draw one card and play one card.  You want to have the needed Keeper cards in front of you to reach the Goal on the table.  But!  There are new goals in the Fluxx deck and if you have the Trail Mix and someone thinks you’re going to play Chocolate next to get the Goal of Really Good Trail Mix they might play a new Goal from their hand and change how to win!  Now the goal is Toasting Marshmallows and you have to think of a new strategy.

There are also new Rules in the Fluxx deck.  If a new Rule is played it goes next to the Basic Rule card and now the Ghost Stories Rule lets you draw an extra card for a price.  Action cards can be played and whatever they say must be followed, then they go away.  They might let you steal Keepers, force everyone to discard cards, or even trash a new Rule!  And finally Creeper cards can prevent you from winning even if you have the goal until you find a way to discard or send them on to another player.  Like those pesky Mosquitoes.

Reach the goal that is currently on the table to win!

You can pick up the newest Fluxx – Camping Fluxx, or many other versions at any Gnome Games.  Perfect to take to the great outdoors or enjoy from the comfort of your home!

Camping Fluxx by Looney Labs is available at Gnome Games
