Of the proposed list, my favorite so far is Fluxx: Invasion. Reminds me of the X-com series names. I am also of the mindset that something longer than two words tends to be cumbersome for a Fluxx title. As a proposed alternative, I will suggest Fluxx Attacks, calling on the Mars Attacks fandom (and perhaps font) of a short time ago, which was actually a revision of the Mars Attacks of before. (I remember having some of the Mars Attacks trading cards when I was younger.) You might even consider a secondary title to further enhance the alien feeling of the game. Something like: Fluxx Attacks: The Day the Looneys Stood Still Just some suggestions.

Greetings Fluxx Fans! Did everyone see my article about the newest version of Fluxx we're working on? http://wunderland.com/WhatsOld/2008/WN.01.24.08.html My alpha-test deck has been getting great reactions and we're all pretty excited about it here. However, there is one element we have doubts about: the name. While Zombies are obviously hot stuff in today's market, Martians are a little old-fashioned. I don't want to change the game itself... it's designed around the idea that these invaders are from Mars in the classic style -- never mind what NASA may think they know about the Red Planet. But we could still choose a different name... after all, the name Martian Fluxx doesn't even convey the idea that these are nasty Earth-Conquering Martians! Also of course, since we have Martian Coasters and Martian Chess it's likely to be a little confusing. So I'm becoming more and more inclined to choose another name before we get any further along in the product's development. My favorite candidate at the moment is Invasion Fluxx. What do YOU think? Here are some of the other ideas we've been kicking around: Alien Fluxx Area 51 Fluxx Fluxx Invaders Invasion from Mars Fluxx Fluxx: Invasion Plan Fluxx from Outer Space Flying Saucer Fluxx Tripod Fluxx Conquest of the Earth Fluxx Under the Alien Boot-heel Fluxx UFO Fluxx Anybody got any other ideas we should be considering? -- Andy _______________________________________________ Fluxx mailing list Fluxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/fluxx
