[Fluxx] Zombie Fluxx Question

[Carol Townsend]

Short answer to long question:

Any goal is fulfilled when the conditions are met.  Immediately.

Longer answer:
The cards have no memory of where they used to be (nor do they anticipate
where they are going next).  As soon as
Zombie Victory hit the table, you won.  The requisite number of Creepers were
out and you had none.  Period. Done. Winner!  Pick 'em up, shuffle up and
deal.  Next hand!

Yes, it's fun to not lose on your first go, but that's the way Fluxx is...
sometimes you win when you're trying not to.

Welcome to the list and glad you're a fan!
Carol
