[Fluxx] Hooray! "Everything is Better with Beer" finally used!

[James Hazelton]

My main Fluxx deck is filled with blanxx cards and promo cards, and my deck
is roughly twice the size of a normal deck of Fluxx--I'm just about filling
the large Fluxx Boxx. As a result, a few of my cards never actually work in
play (see *He Who Dies With The Most
Toys*<http://rabbits.continuation.org/wiki/Fluxx_Blanxx_Goals#H>).
I am proud to announce that, yesterday, *Everything is Better With Beer* was
finally used to win the game!

*Everything is Better with Beer* - For any goal that lists two or more
specific Keepers for a single player to have on the table, *Beer* may be
substituted for any of those Keepers. Ignore this rule if any player has *
Death* or the *Bible* on the table.

A member of my weekly gaming group used this rule to fulfil the goal *Peace
on Earth*. He had *Earth* and *Beer*, signifying that if the whole world has
beer, we won't need peace.

This incident has brought to my attention that, with such a large deck of
cards, the chance of Beer and EiBwB being on the table at the same time is
slim. For this reason, I will be striking out the last sentence of the card
that mentions *Death* and the *Bible*. I used it for game balance reasons,
but it is self-defeating in my case. If anyone chooses to use this card
(along with the corresponding *Beer* keeper) in a more traditionally sized
deck, I suggest leaving the clause in.

I just wanted to share with you all our group's joy in finally seeing this
card in action. It's no fun to make a cool new card and never have it come
up--although I fear that *He Who Dies With The Most Toys* is doomed to
eternal uselessness in my deck.
