[edit] Specifics

  • Zombie Fluxx premiered in October, 2007.
  • Zombie Fluxx is an "expanded version" of Fluxx.
    • there are 100 cards in Zombie Fluxx; Fluxx has 84 cards.
    • there are two new card types: Creepers and Ungoal.
  • Zombie Fluxx is also the first Fluxx game in English to be illustrated by someone outside of Looney Labs.
  • Zombie Fluxx illustrations are in full color.
  • The card types (Goal, Keeper, Action, etc) use a "dripping font" that no other Fluxx deck uses.
    • This font will help you separate back out your Zombie Fluxx deck if you shuffle it in with other decks.
  • Some cards (see below) have a special mark in the bottom left corners.
    • This mark resembles the "dripping font" used in the main card type titles.
    • This mark is to help identify those cards to take out when not playing with Zombies in the simplified learner's game.
  • Zombie Fluxx brings back some cards that have been or are currently in other Fluxx editions.
    • Coffee and Donuts are back - they were in Fluxx v2.0
    • Brains (plural) - "The Brain" is a standard Fluxx card.
    • A Friend - there were also two Friends in Stoner Fluxx
  • As with all Fluxx products, Zombie Fluxx is fully compatible with all other Fluxx decks. Zombie Fluxx is also a full standalone game.
  • Because of Zombie Fluxx, the order of "Draw 1, Play 1" was discussed extensively on the Fluxx list.
    • The question: is it required that you must draw before you play?
    • Why is this important? For example, the Zombie Quartet is placed back on the top of the draw pile - some plays may be advantageous to do before drawing that Creeper.
    • Andy answered this question completely in his Live Journal blog
    • Final decision: You must follow all the rules at some time during your turn, but drawing first is not required.

[edit] Notes

  • Creepers are a new card type with this edition of Fluxx. When you draw a Creeper, you play it face up in front of you immediately and draw to replace it.
    • When the Draw rule is Draw 2 or greater, it may be easiest to set you hand aside while you are drawing. (this example/advice bit is by Carol and is not part of the rules or cards)
      • For example, when you are ready to draw, set your hand aside.
      • Draw the number of cards needed to comply with the current Draw rule; see if you've got any Creepers in what you've drawn.
      • If so, put the Creepers face up in front of you (Groaning as necessary) and continue.
      • Draw again to replace the Creepers, putting any new Creepers down, until you've got the correct number of cards in your hand that match the Draw rule.
        • For example, if the Rule is "Draw 3" and you draw 2 Zombies and an Action, put the Zombies down and Draw 2 more cards... if you get 1 Zombie in THAT draw, put it down and draw another card. Continue this until you have 3 Non-Zombie cards to add to your hand.
      • Pick your hand back up and continue your turn.
  • The descriptions of the zombies ("little girl," "fashion model," etc.) are not "canon" - I made them up as a way to help differentiate cards and can be changed at any time. Carol 17:31, 6 October 2007 (PDT)
