SpongeBob SquarePants Fluxx (2020)

About this game

You probably already know who lives in a pineapple under the sea, but now you can join the whole Bikini Bottom gang in SpongeBob SquarePants Fluxx, an undersea version of Fluxx! You can steal Mr. Krab's Money or Squidward's Clarinet, and give a Krabby Patty to Plankton; you can even drive off in the Invisible Boatmobile! If nautical nonsense be something you wish, you don't have to use your imaaaagination — just play Fluxx like a fish! Fluxx is a game about change. It begins simply with a couple of core rules, then gradually becomes more complex as cards are played that change the rules. Even how you win will be constantly shifting, so you're never sure who will win until someone does. With the perfect blend of luck and strategy, every game is different!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
