I haven’t played board games in such a long time! I used to play board games regularly, whether with friends or family. Thankfully, I was able to join a family board game night last weekend. As we discussed what we should play, it was decided to give Doctor Who Fluxx a shot. I have never played a Fluxx game before trying out Doctor Who Fluxx. Doctor Who Fluxx was easy to learn and quick to play.

To win a game of Fluxx, a player must meet the goal. Different goal cards can be drawn and played, and sometimes the goal changes. Besides goal cards, there are rule cards that change the rules of that particular round. This can include increasing or decreasing maximum hand size, altering the number of cards drawn per turn, and changing the number of cards that can be played on one turn. There are keeper cards that are played in front of the table, along with action cards, which allow for shenanigans to occur.

Since this was Doctor Who Fluxx, the cards are characters and themes from Doctor Who. The keeper cards could be the various doctors or companions. My personal favorite was the Ponds, as I ended up winning one round by having a Tardis and the Ponds as keepers on my board. As I was playing through Doctor Who Fluxx, it reminded me that I’m due for a Doctor Who re-watch soon.

Doctor Who Fluxx is the perfect brewery or picnic table game. It’s easy to teach someone else how to play; it’s quick, and it doesn’t take up the whole table. I’m tempted to order my copy to have on hand. Doctor Who Fluxx can be purchased at your local game store or anywhere where games are sold.
