Star Fluxx

**Star Fluxx®** is a variant of the Fluxx® series. It was released on March 18, 2016 by Looney Labs. The overall game design was by Andrew Looney. It is themed on multiple tropes featured in science-fiction projects (books, TV shows, movies, etc.). This set was produced prior to other licensed sets that use similar tropes and to which some of the cards directly refer, such as **Star Trek**, **Star Wars**, **Doctor Who**, **Firefly** and others. As of 2023, the set is still in print and available through the Looney Labs Webstore and other specialty outlets such as book stores and gaming stores.

### Packaging

The Packaging for **Star 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.

### Cards

The game contains 100 cards: 16 Actions, 3 Creepers, 33 Goals, 25 Keepers, 18 New Rules, 5 Surprises and 1 Basic Rules card. The packaging design and card art was produced by Derek Ring.

The cards are in the **"Fluxx 2.0"** format of "left-color-bar-border" layout and verbose Card Lore, as was common for sets at the time of its' original priniting. The set has not undergone a reprinting or reformatting as of 2023. The headers describing each card type on their fronts are in the font style known as "StarTrek BT". This was also used later for the **Star Trek Fluxx** set.

*NOTE: The "Verbose" Text on the Surprise cards includes the header: "This card can be played at any time, for one of the functions described below, or to cancel a Surrprise which another player has just played." This was later replaced with an extra line denoting "**At any time:** This card can cancel another Surprise." in the Card Lore." As such, the Card Lore for the Surprise cards in the Card List does not have this line.*

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

#### Icons

Several Keepers in the set carry one (or both) of two Special Icons at the top right, next to the header:

* The **Living Being** Icon is the depiction of the side profile of a humanoid brain. This denotes items that are living beings and therefore susceptible to the **Brain Parasites** Creeper.
* The **Mechanical Device** Icon depicts an old-style power toggle, or "On/Off Switch". This denotes items that are equipment and therefore susceptible to the **Malfunction** Creeper.

Several Goals, New Rules and Actions refer to these Icon designations in their Card Lore or Goal requirements.
*NOTE: The above mentioned Creepers (and the **Evil** Creeper in the set) attach to the appropriate type of Keeper. However, none of these cards carries the "Attaching Creeper" Icon used in later sets of Fluxx®.*

#### Card List

*NOTE: For the sake of ease and unity of format, the Goal requirements are listed in the current "Keeper/Creeper + Keeper/Creeper" format as opposed to the "The player who has..." format used on these cards.*

### Promo Cards

To date, only one Promo Card has been produced for specific use with **Star Fluxx®**: The **Android Doctor/Robo-Doc** Keeper. It was released in 2011 to promote the release of the set. It was meant to be a parody of the Holographic Doctor from **STAR TREK: VOYAGER**. It came on a "Promo Postcard" from which it could be peeled off and added to the deck. In 2020, Looney Labs reprinted the card as a single "Loose Promo" card. In both cases, it was also printed in the **"Fluxx 2.0"** format, and has not been updated.

The card contains both the "Living Being" and "Mechanical Device" Icons, and the Card Lore reads: *"Counts as the Robot or the Doctor. This* does *include the ability to cure Brain Parasites."*

The reprinted card is currently available from the Looney Labs Webstore (SKU: LOO-800-089 / MSRP: $1.00).
