 Good theme deck for a fun game Jul 19, 2011
By R. Stockton
First off, the basic Fluxx game mechanic is a 4-star game. It's fun, trivially easy to teach and not too frustrating for the players. But in its "beer and pretzel" silliness are mechanics that let it sometimes get bogged down or too weird.
Pros:
It's very easy to play, even for beginners--starting with a single "draw one, play one" rule.
It's silly fun with half the cards changing the rules or the goals of play.
It scales well from 2 to many players
It is somewhat replayable
Normal games are about 15 minutes.
Cons:
It's hard to use very much strategy
It's HIGHLY variable in length. One game can be a 3-card laydown win. Others are an hour or more.
It's good for about 3-4 games before you're moving on to other things.
The "Pirate Fluxx" deck is a stand-alone game which has the same basic pros and cons, while being marginally more fun than the basic game. It contains a full deck of cards specific to Pirates, and introduces new concepts along with the new theme. A few key cards of note:
The Captain's Hat, adds bragging rights to the game and a few play variations.
The "talk like a pirate" card is fun, though gets silly after a while.
Two new creepers are interesting, easily gotten rid of, and add a bit of variation to play
The "Plunder" card introduces significant card swapping among players.
If you've played Fluxx before, or want a safe first time purchase, it's worthwhile. It won't make the sole basis of a 4 hour game night, but is a good filler.
Of the theme decks I've played so far (Original, Monty Python, Zombie, Pirates) Pirates is my favorite.

 A fun (and funny!) variant of Fluxx! Aug 02, 2011
By Snoopygirl
"snoopygirl914"
As a fan of the original Fluxx card game, I couldn't resist trying the Pirate variant. Game play is similar to the original (it's called "Fluxx" for a reason - everything is always in flux!!), with a few added surprises, including the "Plunder" rule which allows stealing of other players' Keepers and several Goals that are significantly more flexible than those in the original game. (For example, one out of four possible ships will satisfy one of the two conditions of a Goal.) I highly recommend Pirate Fluxx!!

BEST of the Fluxx games so far Dec 18, 2011
By ninetynine100
My friends and I like this version of Fluxx the most out of all of the ones we've played - I also have the Zombie and Stoner editions. You can play Fluxx over and over because of how dynamic and varying the game is. An earlier reviewer said that there isn't opportunity for strategy - not true at all; if you play enough times you can work out what people are planning to do, not to mention the variety of cards that can really be a disadvantage to others. In general, Fluxx (any version) is an amazing game that always changes, but the reason we like this Fluxx the most is because this edition holds "Surprise" cards; you might not understand what this means if you've never played Fluxx before but trust us veteran Fluxxers - its a complete game-changer!
Here's what my 11 year old has to say ... Apr 09, 2012
By razberiswrl
"raz"
I have not, and probably will not ever play this game. I bought it for my boys (11 and 12 years of age), so I will let the 11yo tell you what he thinks:
It's an awesome game, everything about it, except at times it can get a little dull when the only cards that are being drawn are goal cards. As to the question of durability, they're cards ... they bend. (He also went on a tangent about the divided box they come in being a pain in the you know what ... I'm just surprised they aren't being stored in a zip baggie yet, and that half the cards aren't lost, so in my opinion, this is progress, LOL!)
Wicked good Apr 05, 2012
By A. Coughlin
"dakwriter"
Colorful characters, a bit of "cut throat" and a few silly cards can create lots of fun. Out of all the Fluxx games, Pirate Fluxx is our second favorite. Zombie Fluxx is our #1 so far. Original Fluxx is the easiest to learn and "kindest" to newbies, so I'd start with that one, regardless.
