When I firsr heard about
Regular Show Fluxx, it seemed both surprising and logical: The show seemed a bit too currently popular compared to other Looney Labs licenses, but the silly and surreal nature of the show certainly lends itself to the combinations and silliness of the
Fluxx games.
Regular Show Fluxx mixes the standard
Fluxx rules with the characters and stuff from Regular Show. Players put down Keepers, New Rules, and Goals, hoping that their Keepers will match a goal. They can also play actions and may have to play Creepers, which keep that person from winning (unless the Creeper is part of a goal). Rule-wise, there's not much new here.
What is present is a very strong feel of
Regular Show. Keepers include almost all of the main characters from the show (though due to the time of making the show, Margaret is here and CJ isn't), plus things like the Eggscellent Hat, Video Games, and Soda. Players can play the Death Punch of Death, Rock-Paper-Scissors Showdown (which makes two players have a 3-round R-P-S challenge, where the winner gets all of the loser's cards), and Step Off! And the new rule "Yeahuh!" makes players use Mordecai's catchphrase whenever they play a Keeper, or another player gets that Keeper. Some cards also have small pictures of the
Regular Show cast commenting on the card.
Regular Show Fluxx isn't new in terms of rules or gameplay, but it's the closest anyone will come to entering the world of Regular Show. This game is fun, funny, and terrific for anyone who's a fan of Regular Show. Yeahuh!
