Quantum Fluxx as Origins (was Re: [Fluxx] mega-flux)

Tue Jun 26 09:09:40 EDT 2007

Just want to let folks know that at Origins, I'll be running a game of what
I called "Quantum Fluxx" - which is basically a mega-fluxx sort of deck.
 The text in the con book says: "Come play Looney Labs' flagship game – gone
wild. Every version of Fluxx currently in print will be mixed together to
form one HUGE deck. It doesn't matter what language your cards are in – if
you've got the winning combination, you're the victor! A cheat sheet will be
provided for those not fluent in both Spanish and German, but you'll have to
know what most of the cards do in English. The craziness of this game is
only surpassed by the GM who it thought up."

The cards that I will include are 1 deck each of:
* Fluxx 3.1
* Fluxx Español
* Family Fluxx
* EcoFluxx
* German Fluxx
* Japanese Fluxx

The only thing that I will take out of the deck are the extra Basic Rules
cards.  Yes, this means that there will be 3 "Love" cards in the deck - and
that you can win with any one of them if any of the AYNIL cards is out.
 Language won't matter - a German "Love" together with a Japanese "Peace"
wins if the English "Hippyism" is the goal.

My question
to the group is:  since the con-book write-up says it will include "every
version of Fluxx currently in print" should I include Fluxx 3.0 (as it IS
available in Flowers & Fluxx)?  It is out of print and replaced by 3.1, but
it IS available.  Thoughts?

Also, because of the way this is worded, Stoner Fluxx won't be in the
mix.  Thoughts?

And I thought about including promo cards - I am currently not including
them because all the demo decks we play with at Origins are always "vanilla"
decks.  Thoughts on that?

thanks!
Carol
