Cthulhu Fluxx Single Deck Card Game

I hate card games. I really, really can’t stand them. I always forget the rules, poker face is just a song for me, and I wouldn’t be able to play strategically if my life depended on it. BUT THIS GAME IS AMAZING. The rules are always on the table, and if there’s something you don’t understand, you can all just say “sod it” and play however you like. You can use some strategy, but even if it works, it doesn’t mean you win for sure. You can draw a card and win in an instant. And if you screw something up by accident or on purpose but get away with it...? Whatever, still works! This card game is the best. It’s hilarious, unpredictable, and it guarantees you will have amazing time with your friends and family!

Cthulhu Fluxx is, as you may have guessed, the Lovecraft Mythos rendering of Fluxx, and it's a mythos that lends itself very well to this game - you may end up going mad like most of H.P.s protagonists with this deck. I had bought it initially just to try Fluxx and as I enjoy the work of HPL this seemed the deck to start with. I very quickly found that my nephew loved how the rules and end-goals kept changing, and that with a turn of a card he could block his old uncle from saving the world, and instead plunge us all into darkness with no-one winning. And for all that, even the times everyone loses, it's still a very fun game. Highly recommended.

I bought this game to take away on a trip and it kept us entertained for sure! It's an extremely simple concept (building up the rules as the game progresses) but because of that it has a very short learning curve and so it can be enjoyed right away. As with most gmes it's more fun the more players you have but we found it great fun with just two of us. If you're not a fan of HP Lovecraft / Cthuluh mythology then you might be better off with one of the other Fluxx games (as the cards probably won't make much sense) but it's definitely a game to have in your collection!

Not as good as the other versions in the Fluxx series (which I love): the card rules are pretty hard to follow, they make a number of assumptions and have a few game mechanics that are not mentioned anywhere but on the cards (such as the 'doom clock' mechanism), subsequently you can only really learn these and know what to do having studied all the cards in detail before playing. Having said that, once you get the hang of it it's a good game but for those totally unfamiliar with "the Mythos" it is pretty confusing so I would not recommend this as your first experience into Fluxx

I adore Fluxx - this is my third box just so I have different versions. It’s an easy to learn game and can be short or long. It’s never the same and it’s an awful lot of fun. I can’t wait to get more Looney Labs games because they’re incredibly innovative and different to any I’ve played before.

Fantastic game and i love the theme!! i use to play fluxx with friends when i was in collage when i was 16, now im teaching it to my friends in starbucks for a laugh 19 years on. a game can take 5 mins to an hour depending on the luck of the cards but its allways differant and a great laugh

An excellent game to play with friends or family, and if you're a Lovecraft (American Horror writer) fan this version of the Fluxx game is even better! The gameplay is simple to understand, whilst the rules and end goals of the game are ever-changing, which means you will never get bored - a fantastic addition to anyone's card game collection.

My third pack of Fluxx. Many rules to remember than the other fluxx packs I’ve played, love it! Not ideal if your new to the fluxx card games, but awesome if you want a more complicated and seemingly random game, with the added un-goal cards to end the game without a winner

Wonderful edition to the flux collection. A little more complex than zombie or oz, but has a nice bit of strategy to it.

Fluxx is at it's heart a very simple game. You don't even need to know how to play to start playing. Every single card tells you how to use itself. You just read the cards. Generally you draw some cards and play some cards. A player wins when they manage to have a combination of a Goal card and some Keeper cards down. The problems and fun come from the rules being in flux, the goal can change, the rules change, keepers come and go, and you have to keep track of all the nonsense. Games last between about 5 and 20 minutes generally. There are many many themed versions. Fluxx is occasionally accused of being too random. Which is fair, it's very random. Fortunately that totally makes sense in a Cthulhu themed version. Lovecraft's universe is an uncaring place where forces beyond your control can snuff you out without a moment's notice, and Cthulhu Flux is a game where far worse than your friend beating you Yog-Sothoth might just burst into our dimension and end the game causing everyone at the table to lose. It's an oddly appropriate merging of a goofy game and a bleak theme. People are slapping Cthulhu onto everything these days, this is one that actually works. For all my talk of randomness it also feels like a more strategic version of the game than Star Flux, the other one I own. There are things to keep track of and it feels like there are more things to do that are useful, and it somehow isn't as subject to the endless Goal cycling that sometimes makes any planning at all impossible. With the Ungoals, where the monsters win, there can even be an almost co-op aspect to it as players try to win while keeping things from getting out of hand and everyone losing.

Il gioco è un must per gli amanti di Lovecraft! Facilissimo da imparate e veloce da giocare.spedizione rapida. La grafica delle carte è spassosissima!

The best card game is the Fluxx. Cthulhu Fluxx is another level! Wow !

Lo compré buscando un juego dinámico y con mucha rejugabilidad, al principio cuesta un poco de trabajo entender al 100% las reglas sin embargo una vez que se comprenden y se aplican se vuelve bastante divertido. La gran ventaja es que nunca es igual y las reglas cambian constantemente, se pueden generar estrategias sin embargo no siempre las podrán usar, lo recomiendo al 100% y no dudaré en comprar otras versiones o bien sus expansiones.
