Flux is getting all superheroes! As the marvel heroes invade Fluxx, in Marvel Fluxx!
Set up:
Place the basic rules card in the center of the table. Shuffle the deck and deal three cards to each player. Place the remainder of the deck face down next to the basic rules card to form the draw pile.
Game rules:
The basic rules of Fluxx are simple, draw 1 then play one. Then the game starts changing from what is played. New rule cards will change up the basic rules. When you play a keeper, it will be placed in front of you.
Goal cards show specific keepers that you need to win but may often change as the game goes on. Action cards are used once and discarded. Actions can sometimes cause major chaos, and other times have no real effect at all.
Game Play
On a player’s turn they will take the following actions:
- Draw the required number of cards. At the beginning of the game, players will draw one card.
- Play the required number of cards. At the beginning of the game, players will play one card.
- Discard cards to get to the required hand limit. The game begins with no hand limit.
- Discard keepers to get to the required keeper limit. The game begins with no keeper limit.
Throughout the game, players will play new rule cards which could change the rules that players have to follow.
What Marvel Fluxx Brings To The Table
There is a new card “The Arena” card. The card is an action card that has the players use the Keepers that are in front of them for a battle. All the players besides the player that plays the card choose one of the Keepers that are in front of them to compete in the arena. After everyone has chosen they need to make their case to the judge (the player who played the card) for why their character would win in a fight against all the other Keepers. The Keeper that the judge picks to be the winner stays in the game while the rest are discarded.
