Lord of the Fluxx

by Rich Stokes

Equipment:

• 1 copy of Fluxx
• 1 copy of Lord of the Fries (either version)
• 2 6-sided dice of different colours or sizes

Before you start:

• Choose a menu and remove whatever cards are required (if necessary).
• Remove the 4 "bonus" cards (Tax, Time, Brain and Money Bonus) from the Fluxx deck.

How to play:

Set up as per a normal fluxx game. Shuffle the LotF deck and place it FACE DOWN next to the Fluxx deck.

Deal cards and play Fluxx as normal with the following exceptions:

Keepers: Whenever you play a Keeper, you instead draw the top 2 cards of the LotF deck and play that in front of you instead. Government Cover-up and secret data still apply, so you might play an ingredient face down if those are in effect. You place the Keeper card in the discard pile. Someone could "Pilfers the trash" and pick the keeper card up. If they play it later, they draw another 2 ingredients.

Keeper Limit N: Whenever a Keeper Limit is played, double the number you are limited to. So if "Keeper Limit 2" is in play, you are actually limited to 4 ingredients in front of you.

Trash a Keeper: Trash 2 ingredients on the table, from ANY player. You can trash 2 from the same player, or one each from 2 players. These go into the Steal a Keeper: Steal 2 ingredients on the table, from ANY player. You can steal 2 from the same player, or one each from 2 players.

Exchange/Scramble Keepers: Work the same, but read "Ingredient" instead of"Keeper".

Goals: Whenever you play a goal, roll an order as you would in a normal LotF game. This is the current order. Either keep the dice in that position and place them on the goal card to keep track of the current meal or place a coin or similar marker on the menu next to the current order. If any"extras" are rolled, ignore them and roll again. [This seems to work fine so for. The alternative is to make a mental note and try to keep track of things that way, which has a tendancy to get messy...]

Scoring: Anybody who can build the current order can "score" it immediately if they wish. Move these ingredients to the side and keep each player's separate. These are now in that players score pile and cannot be affected by Fluxx cards. Just like in regular Fluxx, you can score an order even when it isn't your turn.

Ending the game:

The game ends AS SOON AS THE LAST INGREDIENT IS DRAWN! Add up each players score pile and subtract any ingredients still in front of the player. The winner is the persen with the most points.

Variant: You want WHAT?!?!
Exactly as above, but leave the 4 "bonus" cards in the fluxx deck. Playing these is the same playing a Goal card, but the player may call a meal according to the normal LotF rules.

Variant: Foo = Bar
(Note: this isn't finished and hasn't bee tested, but you get the idea...) Played exactly the same, but each Keeper is an ingredient combination and each Goal is a specific order. Keep all the ingreients in seperate piles so that you can see what is available.

Keeper: Ingredients

Brain 2x Cheese
Bread 2x Bun
Chocolate Bird Meat & Cow meat
Coffee 2x Drink
Cookies Pie & Bun
Death 2x Cow Meat
Doughnuts Bun & Drink
Eye Cheese & Bun
