Incorrect rules for fluxx and star fluxx

[davidr0607]

If you have a rules card that allows you to do an extra action during your turn, it has to be done BEFORE your last play so it is wrong on here. Here is a extract for the Looney Labs FAQ on their website that proves this:

"Is it possible to use Get On With It if the rules are only Play 1?
… The wording “final play” makes it seem as if there’s more than one play needed….

A: If you have only one Play (or only one card to play, even if the rules allow more) then that one card would be both your first and your final play. So yes, there IS a final play, even if you’d only be playing one card.

So, in order to use Get On With It, you’d have to do it before your final play, i.e. before your ONLY play. You’d just not take your Play for that turn, and do Get On With It instead."

And no, I couldn't put this in the bugs forum because the bug system only allows for a particular match or the website in general, not a particular game in general.

Just give a fluxx table number then...

I think this is the direct link to FAQ referenced above.

Just in case others come here, this was posted in the Fluxx forum also and already answered nicely by Bootsiebewts some time ago:

“ That is true for Get On With It which is stated on the card that you can use the action before your final play. However for Mystery Play no such condition is stated on the card and because it is a free action you are able to take that action for free during your turn. On the Looney Labs website they say a player can take free actions before drawing cards to until they have taken all actions and free actions or decide to end their turn ( https://faq.looneylabs.com/question/288 ).”

I opened the link but it does not show the text which you quoted.

I think the fact there is a distinct FAQ around Get On With It suggests it is different from other Free Play cards.

I think the implication of the FAQ is you cannot take your 1 Play: you must play GOWI first then end your turn immediately instead of Playing 1 then GOWI

The quoted text was the answer on the other question in the BGA Fluxx forum.
That Looney Lab FAQ entry response clearly states:
"A player may utilize any optional Free Plays as early as before their first Draw to after their last Play."

That is just to explain that the other Free Rules like Mystery Play don't behave the same like the "Get On With It".
Which means everything is working perfectly here, as I suppose the original poster also realized as no bug was ever reported for this.
