Oz Fluxx

* 1.0
* 1.1

**Oz Fluxx®** is a variant of the Fluxx® series by Looney Labs. It was originally released ("Version 1.0" or "V1.0") on August 13, 2012, then re-released in a new printing ("Version 1.1" or "V1.1") on March 11, 2021. It is based on characters and situations from the "Land of Oz" series of novels by L. Frank Baum, with some influence also included from the 1939 MGM film **"The Wizard of Oz"** which adapts the first book in the series, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". The game was designed by Andrew Looney with assistance by Robin Vinopal as "Oz Advisor".

This set had been placed in the "Looney Labs Vault" in 2016, which meant there were no future plans to reprint or re-release the game. However, such decisions can be reversed due to consumer demand, and the 2021 re-release came to be. Said re-release is still available through the Looney Labs Webstore as well as specialty outlets such as book stores and gaming stores.

### Packaging

The Packaging for both versions of **Oz Fluxx®** is the standard flat 2-part box (4 13/16" length x 3 11/16" width x 1" depth) currently used for Fluxx® sets. The box holds all the cards in two piles with a cardboard divider insert keeping said piles apart for storage. It also holds an instruction sheet and a catalog of Looney Labs merchandise. The package design and logo for the game were developed by Derek Ring.

### Cards

The game contains 100 cards: 21 Actions, 2 Creepers, 32 Goals, 18 Keepers, 21 New Rules, 5 Surprises and 1 Basic Rules card. The card art was produced by Michael Hays.

The V1.0 release was done in the then-current "left-color-bar-border" style used since the release of **Fluxx V2.0**. The 2021 re-release is done in the current "rounded surrounding border" style used since the release of **Fluxx: Special Edition**. With the exceptions of resized & repositioned card art and minor rewording of some Card Lore, the two sets are identical and play in the same manner.

*NOTE: The Card List below will have the Card Lore for the V1.1 release, including the now-standard "Keeper/Creeper + Keeper/Creeper" format for Goal requirements.*

As of 2023, one single Promo Card has been produced in conjunction with this set. (See PROMO CARDS below.)

### Promo Cards

To date, only one Promo Card has been released related to this set: the **If I Only Knew the Words...** New Rule. This is an Oz-inspired New Rule card that can be added to any Fluxx® deck, but is themed overall to be used primarily with **Oz Fluxx®**.

The Card Lore reads: *"If you sing a few bars of an Oz-themed song during your turn, draw 1 extra card. Draw another extra card if no one has yet used this song for this reason during the game."*

This card was published in 2012 to promote the release of **Oz Fluxx®**, and thus has the older "left-color-bar-border" style of cards of that time. It was originally printed as a "Promo Postcard", which meant the card itself could be peeled off of the postcard to which it was attached and added to the deck. It has since been reprinted as a single "Loose Promo" card in the same format (not updated to "Special Edition" style, as many reprinted Promos tend to be), which (as of 2023) is available through the Looney Labs Webstore (SKU: LOO-800-070 / MSRP: $1.00).
