Happy to be of service :) I can't wait to see it. -Bob -----Original Message----- From: fluxx-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fluxx-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Looney Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 11:54 AM To: Fluxx Discussion List Subject: [Fluxx] Alien Invasion Fluxx Thanks for all the great input, folks! > "And that new one? What kind of Fluxx is it?" > "Alien Invasion Fluxx! We get to take over the world from the Pathetic > Humans! Mwahahahaha!" Actually, I like that one a lot... I hear what folks have been saying about not using more than 2 words, but there's also a lot of support for some sort of lack of consistency (like making it Fluxx: Whatever) and while neither Alien Fluxx nor Invasion Fluxx quite convey the full idea, Alien Invasion Fluxx does so quite well.

Sorry Allen, I have to agree with Zarf here: > It wasn't my favorite either; in fact, I thought it was annoying and > not-fun. "It fits the theme" is a lousy reason to add such a thing back > in. We dumped those cards because they just aren't as much fun as they seem like they should be, and I'm not interested in bringing them back. However, there is one old mechanic I'm currently playtesting for return: remember the Eye Bonus? (It was only in the very first edition.) I'm reviving that concept with the Telepathic Translator, a Keeper which allows you to look at another player's hand once per turn. Plus there will also now be a way to counter this power -- if you have the Aluminum Foil Hat Keeper, your opponent cannot use the Telepathic Translator against you! -- Andy Looney _______________________________________________ Fluxx mailing list Fluxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/fluxx
