The cards in this deck are very amusing ranging from the Chainsaw card, the Brains card, the Coffee card, or the Zombie Repellent card. Zombie Fluxx is played just like the original version- the game starts with the basic rules of draw one card and play one card. There are several more "new rule" cards that can be played (example - draw three, play three and so on) therefore, the game is in a constant state of fluctuation.

Brief Fluxx Rules

It all begins with one basic rule: Draw one card, Play one card. You start with a hand of three cards... add the card you drew to your hand, and then choose one card to play, following the directions written on your chosen card. As cards are drawn and played from the deck, the rules of the game change from how many cards are drawn, played or even how many cards you can hold at the end of your turn.

There are 4 kinds of cards in Fluxx:

• Keepers: You put these out on the table in front of you when you play them.
• Goals: When someone plays a goal, it stays in the center of the table until a new goal takes its place. To win, you simply need to do whatever the goal says. Most of the time, the goal requires you to have a couple of particular Keepers on the table in front of you. As soon as any player achieves the current goal, that player wins!
• New Rules: This is where the fun really starts. When the game begins, the only rules are that you draw 1 card per turn and play 1 card per turn. But when you play a New Rule, these rules are either changed or added to. New Rules change the number of cards drawn and played per turn as well as the number of cards you are allowed to hold in your hand, the number of Keepers you can have, bonuses for players who have particular Keepers, and more.
• Actions: These are 1 time use cards that let you do fun stuff like stealing someone else's Keeper, getting rid of a rule you don't like, drawing more cards, and so on.
