Fluxx: The Board Game lives up to its card game namesake as this board game is all about change: changing rules; changing goals; and changing tiles on the board.

Players start the game with their three pieces in the center of a 3×3 grid of tiles; with each tile divided into four spaces and each space showing an icon of some type (chocolate; sun; cookies; etc.) or an octagon or a portal. Players each start with three cards in hand; and the overall goal of the game is to collect 3-6 goal cards; with the exact number possibly changing during play.

On a turn; a player draws one card; plays one card; then moves one space; with all of those values being subject to change during gameplay; depending on what’s currently allowed by the rules; you can also use movement points to rotate or move tiles in the play area. If you have a piece on each icon shown on the topmost goal card in play; you claim that card and are that much closer to winning. Players can also claim goal cards they have in hand by; again; placing their pieces on the appropriate icons. Other cards in the game allow players to change the rules; the game board; the ownership of player pieces; and so on.
