I wouldn't say it's not a game, I just have no interest in playing it. The idea that one person, or the group, is deciding arbitrarily what the "right" answer is kills me. See also, Imaginiff...

It bugs me too.
Fluxx moves too fast. Not in a bad way, but the German side of me that likes order and rules gets a little flummoxed playing it. It won't keep me from playing, mind you. Just messes with my head.
Fluxx makes the baby Jesus cry. In a really, really fun way.

There was a brief period last night in one of our Zombie Fluxx games where it was actually impossible for anyone to win. The winning conditions required someone to have something that another rule was preventing anyone from owning.

I think my head just exploded.

Sean, I'm a big Fluxx fan and have turned my mom and cousins into big fans as well. Zombie Fluxx is also great.
