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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've only played 1000 Blank White Cards once and somehow the game ended in sex so I gotta say I'm a fan.

I cannot bear Fluxx. I don't want to relearn the rules to a game every 5 seconds. Horrid.
Apples to Apples, I love. You just have to play it with the right crowd. Or the wrong crowd, YMMV, as on one occasion I mocked the owner of the deck who had just pulled a blank card so he filled it out with my name on it and the winning choice was "Pond Scum" from someone who didn't even know me.

Andrew Looney (creator of Fluxx) is a borderline FOAF. Several different ways, actually, so he's like my personal Kevin Bacon. Anyway, people who like Fluxx should try Chrononauts. It's confusing in a different way, since there are 3 ways for each player to win. And one way for everyone to lose.
I've been meaning to ask if anyone here has played (if that's even the right word) The Path? It's more of an experience than a game, I guess. But the experience is impressively creeptastic.

I think it's what you'd get if David Lynch wrote interactive fiction. So: yes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Then we played a couple of games of Zombie Fluxx. I have decided that Fluxx (especially Zombie Fluxx) is just a stupid ridiculous amount of fun.
There is now also a Monty Python Fluxx. I haven't played it yet.

Monty Python Fluxx is a lot of fun! And not just because you can draw the Holy Hand Grenade!
