This is a fun and clever game with a theme.  It is instantly appealing to kids, women and men (for the Fluxx).  Sure the first few games are slow and might be confusing since the game is changing constantly, but after you get what Goals, Actions, Keepers, Creeper and Surprise mean this game can be picked up and started in seconds. Sometimes games end in a few minutes and sometimes we'll have to shuffle the discard pile a couple of times.  There is strategy in what cards you keep, what you play and the order you play them, but other players can easily foil your strategy.
