I was playing it even longer with friends. I feel like version 5.0 very well could be the best version so far. As far as I can tell with most people out there, they either love this game or hate it. Like I just said, my family loves it. Started my daughter when she was 7, she's about to go off to college and made sure to have her own deck to go with her, and on top of that she's using one of my older decks now to play with friends in high school. If you are not familiar with Fluxx, there are a lot of versions and themes but this is the one to start with. Gameplay starts off simple. You deal 3 cards to every player and put 1 rule card out which is to draw 1 card and play 1 card. That's how you start. Everything about this game will change. New rules will get played, goals will get played and there are actions and cards known as keepers which are basically the way you hit the goals(most of the time). It is very simple to pick up and a lot of fun. One thing I can say, anyone who says there is no strategy has not played this game for long or is not very good at it. It's harder to strategize until you've played a few hands and get familiar with the various cards. But once you get familiar you can start to plan in advance to attempt a win. And quite frankly have it messed up by another players actions just as easily as you start to plan, but that's all part of the game. Game time varies. I have seen victories on first turns and have had hands last close to an hour(this is rare though). I have heard of people paying for 2 hours but I have yet to run into that in over a decade of playing. It can be played enjoyably by 2 people but shines in a group. You can technically go above the 5 player limit but the game drags - which might explain some of the 2 hour games people have mentioned. This version removes the creepers from 4.0. I feel like this is a great change. Creepers have made their way into the other versions of Fluxx and may work great in those, but the base game I feel really suffered because of the addition of creepers. I actually went so far as to either go back to my 3.1 Fluxx version and at one point removed the creeper related cards and added the 3.1 cards into the 4.0 deck to patch out the creepers. I think Looney Labs should consider selling a creeper expansion for the base game to introduce it for those who want it. Creepers nearly killed interest in this game series for me to be honest so not missing them in this version. One of the strengths of Fluxx for existing owners of previous versions is that they are compatible. If they remove a card that you like, you can usually port it into the existing version. There's been a few action cards that have disappeared and a meta rules card that have made their way into my 5.0 version. I held out hope that a creeper free version of the base game would return and here it is. I already own two versions of 5.0 and have a child who ordered one of her own. The price is right for a lot of enjoyment. We still played our older versions before this one was released. If you like flux, you will get your moneys worth. Review: Family Game Night MUST HAVE - Great family fun for all ages. Even non-gamers will like this game. Simple to learn. Simple to play. Maximize the fun with this game. You know that family member who always wins... they don't stand a chance in this game because you never know when the game will change because of a single lucky card. Guaranteed laughs and replays. The game is small enough to fit in a purse, backpack, or a pocket. Allowing you to take it with you on trips. I purchased it for a friend to play with her grandsons. They loved it and I bought for my 3 daughters and their families. It's a keeper and will make family game night a hit. ## Features - Ever-Changing Fun: Fluxx 5.0 is a brilliant card game with constantly shifting rules, keeping the gameplay interesting.

However if you wanted to mix it with an older version of just regular fluxx (4.0 and previous) your deck would just have two of most of the cards. The changes between core versions of the regular fluxx games are usually mostly aesthetic with only few cards switched out for others. This newest version 5.0 removes the creeper card type that was added in 4.0 and replaces them with a few action and new rule cards. **Q: If you have multiple decks can more people play?** A: I've played Flux with as many as 10-12 people. It works providing you have two (or more?) Fluxx decks that mix well. I imagine this deck would play nicely with any other Fluxx deck, whereas mixing two specialty decks doesn't always work. (Zombies + Pirates = not good.) The other thing is that it can take a while to get around the table, so we had side chatter and a side game or two going on -- you might want to remove the "Play All", "Play 5", and "Play 4" cards from larger games to help speed it up. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable family card game. *by M***E on May 2, 2016* My family has been enjoying Fluxx for over 10 years now.

I figure out a rule and then my kids put down another looney rule card that makes less sense than the last one. Then, I have to play Rock, Paper, Scissors with a really quick-handed teeny-bopper. I’m just hoping for the Action card that reads if you have 10 or more cards in your hand, You Win! And then hope I have the most! It’s a fun game. IF YOU WIN. And it’s not easy to learn if you’re in your late 60’s with a bunch of things going on in the back of your mind. ## Frequently Bought Together - Looney Labs Fluxx 5.0 Card Game Fun, Fast-Paced, Ever-Changing Rules, Perfect for Family Game Night and Parties - Camping Fluxx Card Game by Looney Labs - Summer Fun, Outdoor Adventure, Perfect for Family Camping Trips and Campfire Nights - Looney Labs Pirate Fluxx Card Game - Ever-Changing Pirate-Themed Fun --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/12606110-looney-labs-fluxx-5-0-card-game](https://www.desertcart.us/products/12606110-looney-labs-fluxx-5-0-card-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
