There’s been some complaints about Fluxx being very random, but if you embrace the chaos it can be quite fun. Now a new version of Flux is coming out that appears to have some unique strategy to make you think, Math Fluxx.
Math Fluxx really is all about the numbers. Players use positive integers (whole numbers) in their quest to achieve a very mathematical Goal. But it’s not just putting 4 and 2 together to achieve the 42 Goal (for example); Math Fluxx also features the Plan B Meta Rule. Plan B puts Special Victory Rules into play which give you a second way to win and require even more arithmetical acumen (for example, the rule “Plus Victory” lets you win if your Keepers add up to the current Goal number).
Math Fluxx is a very special version of Fluxx. It’s as fun as all the other Fluxx versions, but this one actually has a nice emphasis on practical math skills. Math Fluxx is also a great way to introduce the fun of Fluxx into any classroom setting. Because with Math Fluxx, change really is the only thing you can count on and the fun is exponential!
Since one of the majors I graduated with is Mathematics, and it seems like there’s a renewed focus on getting kids to learn math, I’m glad to see games with a heavier math focus. Look for Math Fluxx in less than a month.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
