One year on Monty Python Fluxx “The most anticipated game this year (in this reviewer’s opinion)

I’ve already explained the basics in my review of EcoFluxx to recap Everyone starts with 3 cards and at the start the basic rules are Draw 1, Play 1 Which then constantly change along with the ‘Goal’ cards which dictate which ‘Keeper’ cards (which you can play in front of you) you need to win and action cards, from, choosing an additional card for everybody to changing hands with someone or resetting back to the basic rules.

With the introduction of new ‘rule’ and ‘action’cards from having to serenade players or quoting dialogue to receive extra cards its highly recommended that your videos/dvds are dusted down and re-watched before play. I will be swotting up.
If it gets too outrageous you can hope for ‘This Game has got too Silly..’ Action Card reducing to standard draw/play (Quantity) rules or even ‘My Brain hurts..’ which lets you choose which rules to discard.
Consisting mainly of the Holy Grail (although the occasional Dead Parrott & other TV elements appear). The Monty Python take on Fluxx is the most ambitious and crazy zany version that will likely to appear, ever! Not that you’d expect anything else with these two great names joined together!
