Fluxx expansions

[lantern1984]

I too support bringing in Zombie Fluxx. I was introduced to the game by being given a RL deck for Christmas one year, but I have no one to play with.

Zombie Fluxx, I definitely would like to see. Also Math(s) Fluxx.

They're not expansions though, they're stand-alone games. (Same for Pirate Fluxx, which another member mentioned).

There have been 19 expansions which work with the regular Fluxx game, released between 1997 and 2023. The one I'd most like to see is the Creeper pack (which reintroduced the Creeper cards that were dropped between the 4.0 and 5.0 versions of Fluxx), followed by the BGG pack.

@Stu_1977_SEmelb, you do realise that the Creeper pack has been available as a game option for Fluxx since the initial release on BGA?

Other variants are, as you say, not really expansions but standalone games.
Looney Labs has not granted the license on BGA for any other than Fluxx and Star Fluxx, so currently I would not expect to see any other variants on here.

Oh. Well, if I did, then I'd completely forgotten, obviously (or I somehow never noticed the option at all – unlikely, but I can't remember). It's been a while. I had the impression, from the way that people were writing in this thread, that there were no expansions available at all.

Hm. Well, pity. I find it interesting that they'd stop at those two.

Hi... I'm Laurie and I work for Looney Labs. Looney Labs is not opposed to adding a few more Fluxx versions to BGA. We just don't have the bandwidth to make it happen right now. I would love to see Math Fluxx on BGA... or really any of them! But the programming takes time and money that we don't have readily available right now. But maybe someday!

Hopefully it will show up on BGA at some point, but until then, I'm happy to offer you two great options! First there is a phone app version of Fluxx which includes the Zombie Fluxx variant and lots of players! Here's that link: https://www.playdekgames.com/zombie-fluxx

Second, a little while ago we released solo rules for all Fluxx games. Playing solo is really a lot of fun, and gives you a reason to break out that deck you got for Christmas. There's even a leaderboard to compare your score to others. Here's that link: https://www.looneylabs.com/solofluxx

Have fun!

Hi, Laurie!

Yes, I can only imagine how difficult it must be to code really any of the Fluxx games, never mind the versions with more intricate / elaborate / complicated rule sets!

The ones I'd like to see most next are still Zombie, then Math(s), then Alice.

Thanks for the message!!
