The 5 Hows: Fluxx

This is a guide for how to play the game Fluxx.

1. How do I win?
By being the first person to meet the goal.

2. How do I meet the goal?
By playing Keeper cards that match what’s shown on the Goal card.

3. How do I play a Keeper card?
Each turn, you draw a card and play a card. Well, that’s not exactly true – that’s how the game starts, but it changes.

4. How does it change?
You can play different types of cards. There are Goal cards (you can change the goal) and Keeper cards (that are for attaining the goal) and there are also Rule cards, that change the rules of the game like how many cards you draw and how many you play.

5. Wait, how can I win the game if someone can change the goal? How does that even make sense?
That’s what makes Fluxx different – some people think it’s more fun, and some people think it’s less fun. Yes, the goal changes, the rules change, someone can just take the cards in your hand, etc. That’s why it’s called Fluxx.

It’s not a difficult game to learn, but it can be difficult to play because you have to always re-learn the rules (when they change). Also, there are a variety of versions. We have the original Fluxx (which is fun) and Chemistry Fluxx (which is even more fun). They have even more versions, which we haven’t tried, but might be worth it depending on your interests.

There, now go play Fluxx.
