Please add Frequently Asked Questions about Fluxx here, as well as the official or commonly accepted answers to each question.

• Q: How does 10 Cards in Hand work in conjunction with Trade or Rotate Hands? If you and an opponent each have 11 cards in your hand, and you play trade hands, would you win because after the card's effect occurred you had 11 while the opponent had 10, or would the opponent win as soon as the card was played and left your hand?
  • A: The former, because the card action needs to be fully resolved before considering the question of whether or not someone has met the Goal condition.

• Q: What happens if Take Another Turn is played twice in one turn? Based on the wording of the card, it would seem that you still only get one extra turn.
  • A: Correct. You can't save up any extra Another Turns.

• Q: If playing with the Radioactive Potato or Larry the Zombie, and the Goal changes, can a player win before RP or LtZ moves to the adjacent player?
  • A: No. The movement of RP or LtZ counts as part of the result of the Goal played, so they move first, and then players check their win conditions.

• Q: If the Trade Hands card is played and the rest of the players have no cards, is that player required to give away the rest of his cards for nothing in return or is the action optional?
  • A: If you play the card, you have to trade, which means yes, you'd have to give away the rest of your hand and get nothing in return if everyone else is empty handed. It says on the card, "This is one of those times when you can get something for nothing." Well, it's also one of those times when you get give something away and get nothing back!

• Q: Suppose I play Draw 2 and Use 'em and I draw two Goals, and one of them will cause my opponent to win. Can I play the two Goals in instant succession, with the one that doesn't make them win on top, so that they don't get to win?
  • A: No. Anytime a Goal is played, it provides a chance for someone to win with those conditions. No matter how briefly that Goal is in play, it counts, and if someone meets the given conditions in that instant, they win.

• Q: When mixing decks, does Brains (From Zombie Fluxx count as) Brain? And the reverse as well?
  • A: Yes and Yes.

• Q: When using Promo Cards and Family Fluxx cards, can the Fruit Tree or any of the other trees count as The Tree?
  • A: Yes.
