Pirate Fluxx

Like Pirates? Like Fluxx? Like Easy to learn card games that are fun for anyone? Like any combination of these things? You can't go wrong with this game. The rules are simple because the rules are always on the card you're holding. They start as "Draw 1, Play 1" and will never stay that way. The Fluxx games in general are easy to learn. If you like pirates you'll love the little jokes, like needing a deserted island and a rowboat to win (because stranded on an island). I have yet to introduce a Fluxx game to anyone who hasn't enjoyed it enough to play multiple rounds in one sitting.

I can not stress enough how much we love this game. This was our first version of Fluxx, and although we have played (and own) several other Fluxx versions since then this one still remains everyone's absolute favorite. My mom is obsessed with it. My sister and I are obsessed with it. My nieces (even one who can't read yet) are obsessed with it (although the youngest one needs a lot of help obviously). It is one of 2 games that goes on every vacation with us. Some versions of Fluxx have odd cards/rules that take a while to get used to (like the way that the zombies are used and passed around in Zombie Fluxx) but this game is straightforward and fun. I also like that it is a quick game (we've had games as short as 2 minutes, but even our longest game was only about 15 minutes long.....although that being said we are addicted to it enough that we will play it would 2-3 hours straight).

Great family game.

This game is a great addition to the FLUXX family. It's fast, it's easy, and it makes your friends put on bad pirate accents! If you are already familiar with previous Fluxx editions, this game makes the play a little faster, with the added abilities of plundering other people's keepers and creepers that move from player to player on every turn, adding a fun new dynamic to game play. It's especially fun to shuffle this together with other FLUXX games and still play seamlessly. For example, pair this with Zombie Fluxx and see how your friends handle talking like a pirate zombie!If you are not already familiar with Fluxx this is a great way to start. The rules are simple, and laid out in front of every player at all times. There is an element of bluff in this game, and it's best to try to load your hand in such a way to have multiple ways to win. This is an excellent party game, because people can jump in or leave at any time, without a break in the game play. And it is just FUN!

For those who know of Fluxx, this is another fine way to change things.For those new to this game, Fluxx is an ever-changing goal-based card game. You have five (5) basic card types: Keepers (things that lead to you winning the game), Creepers (things that, generally, stop you from winning the game), Actions (follow what the card says), New Rules (the basic rules are: at the start of your turn, draw one card and then play one card from you hand), and Goals (a combination of things you need to win the game).The most exciting part about this game is that you never know what could happen. The game could be over in a few minutes or go on forever, all depending upon the cards drawn, played, and rules at any given moment.Pirate Fluxx is another fine installment in the Fluxx family. You will find hilarious pirate-based Keepers, Creepers, Actions, Rules, and Goals in this game. If you like the original game or any of the others, you will love this game. Enjoy!

We LOVE this game. Like Fluxx games, each time you play is totally different. That keeps things fun. I've tried other versions and Pirates is definitely our favorite!

If you've ever played a turn-based multiplayer computer game, the old style games would have you waiting for the next player to take their turn before you could do anything. This was kinda of a bummer as it could be a long wait because there were so many decisions to make.That is the same here.because the rules keep changing some players are taking a while to catch up with the rule changes and then re-read their cards to know what to do next. . . .unlike card games like Dominion, where you can memorize the cards and play without paying much attention.Other than that, our family of six (ages 9-over 40) really like this game.Everyone has a chance to win.It's difficult to apply a lot of strategy because things keep changing so fast.Our games yesterday took over 1hr the first time, because kids kept goofing off and not trying to win but just wanted to play through the various cards. The next two games took less than 20 minutes each.We like that all of us can play and that we can play more than one session, when paying attention to the goal.OVERALL: If players can keep up with the rule changes and figure out what's in their hand, it becomes a fast game you can play several times in one sit down. No single person has an advantage as you can counter the moves of others and hope your draw of the cards is the right combination. We like it a lot!

I love the game and have bought multiple versions. This one is definitely my favorite
