Cthulhu Fluxx Review

Once upon a time, I loved Fluxx. Once upon a time, my board game experience was also limited to Monopoly, Life, and Munchkin. Many years and many board games later, my interest has cooled somewhat, and it seems that my gaming partners have the same tepid feelings toward Fluxx as I do. By why? It’s not a bad game. It’s a good little ice-breaker and it’s good for the casual player, so why the general feeling of “meh” when it is suggested? It’s because a game of Fluxx usually goes one of two ways.

Is there an Old One for mediocrity?

Rob’s Top 8 (Technially 12) Favorite Card Games

Rob:  Everyone has a soft spot for certain types of games. I’m not talking just genres or mechanics, either. It’s quite common for people to gravitate towards things like small boxes, faster or longer play times, minis, and so on. I have a few favorites of my own, of course, but today I want to focus on cards.

I love card games. Not games that use cards as one of many mechanics, but rather games where the cards are their heart and soul (spoiler alert: despite this introduction there will be no Yu-Gi-Oh! I repeat, there will be no Yu-Gi-Oh!). This means games like Machi Koro, which is more about rolling dice, and Death Angel, which basically just uses cards in place of minis, aren’t eligible. Sorry.
