Read the full game description

Fairy Tale Fluxx brings the ever-changing Fluxx system to a deck illustrated by Mary Engelbreit. Every game begins with the same two instructions—draw one card and play one—but New Rules immediately alter hand limits, turn structure, and the number of cards in motion. Goals determine which Keepers currently win, while Actions and Surprises upset plans at exactly the wrong moment. It is a light, social card game whose appeal comes from adapting faster than the rules change.
