Well, there is a part of me that has a marketing standpoint in the back of my head, and with that in mind, I think Fluxx would be better. Given the theme, part of me thinks Zombie Fluxx would be cool, but I'm not sure how that would affect your options. Perhaps 3.1 would be better. I also really like Eeyore's simplified "3 card" reading with the Keepers. With that thought, I think the heavily themed Zombie Fluxx would perhaps be inappropriate - I think it could work quite well with Fluxx 3.1 Timothy On 9/28/07, Carol Townsend <carol.townsend@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I got a suggstion offline to maybe use Nanofictionary cards instead of > Fluxx. > > Thoughts? > > Carol > > > On 9/28/07, mice r.r. < miceland@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I think this reading is possible but it is sort of like a Morgan's > > Tarot.
