I'm quite enthused about Monty Python Fluxx, so I quite liked getting the chance to see these. 2) doing so would sever some connections. "Rule six: there is no rule six" is a direct Python quote (from a list of rules, numbered one through seven), and rule five being Draw 3 interfaces well with 1,2,5. 3) I was going to suggest that 2nd one myself, but you beat me to it. The numerals used in the various effects should be left as-is, though. ( "Five: Draw 3 cards." ) 4) Those limits are in constant effect while it is not your turn. So no, you must obey them as always. -- WNivek wnivek@xxxxxxxxx
