You're playing Fluxx 3.1 with two other players. The only New Rule
card in play is Hand Limit 0. Nobody has any Keepers in play, or
cards in their hand. The current goal is 10 Cards in Hand. It's your
turn.
Is there a possible arrangement of cards in the deck that would let
you win, without changing the Goal, before the next person gets a
turn? If so, what's the simplest arrangement (i.e., fewest specific
cards at the top of the deck before you reach the "rest of the cards
can be in any order" point)?
I'll give my solution in a future post.
Not having seen any other solutions, this is what I came up with
So it's currently Draw 1, Play 1, Hand Lmit 0.
Draw Two and Use Them or Draw 3, Play 2 of them.
Drawing two cards (or 3) you would need to get the following 2: Draw 5, Play 2.
Currently 0 Crads in hand.
Play the Draw 5, and Draw 5 cards.
Currently 5 Cards in Hand.
You would want to have drawn is Inflation, so you play that.
Four cards in hand, but Inflation adds 1 to the Draw total, so draw
another card.
Five Cards in hand.
Another card in your hand would have to be No Hand Bonus. Play it.
Four Cards in Hand.
Next card would have to be Take Another Turn. Play it.
Three Cards in hand.
You have Played 3 cards (2 +1 for the Inflation, means three cards played).
End of Turn, but you have played Take Another Turn, so you do.
No hand Bonus means you draw a new hand of four cards (3 + 1 for Inflation).
Draw 6 (Draw 5 + 1 for Inflation).
9 cards in hand.
One of those must be Jackpot, so play it.
8 cards in hand.
Take 4 cards from the Deck because of Jackpot (3+1 for Inflation),
and you have a grand total of 12 cards in hand.
You win the game.
