“Fluxx” is back with another rendition of Star Trek, this time “Deep Space Nine”. To date we’ve seen The Original Series and The Next Generation…from what I’m told Voyager is due out next year. The DS9 version plays similarly to the others so if you’ve played one of the others you’ll be able to jump into this without a problem. One of the key differences is a new meta card that lets you discard so many goal cards to draw more cards, an interesting way to get rid of a hand of goals you really don’t want especially if there’s a hand limit rule. It’s expensive to buy each one ($20 a pop), so if you’re strapped for cash buy the version that suits you best.
You can watch Aidalee and I experience our first game below. It’s worth noting that we made a few rules goofs (we should have discarded rules and goals we replaced rather than let them stack, etc.). That said, we had fun anyway…rules goofs or no. It’s fun, chaotic, and well themed. Aidalee wasn’t impressed by the chosen art style, but I myself didn’t mind it.
Final Verdict: 9/10
