Pug’s Place

Last night Theresa, E, James and I watched Saving Private Ryan, played Fluxx and et tacos. Tacos provided generously by James and some of me. Audio experience and movie provided by me. Humor provided by everyone. Fluxx provided by humor and Theresa. It was nice to break from the maudlin, touching-and-excellent Saving Private Ryan to play two and a half hours of a game with ever-changing rules.

Oh Fluxx, how can one fully describe you? That’s part of the fun, really. Flux is a card game that, to be fully described, must be played many times. Since the rule-book is very small and the card deck contains most of the rules. Basically, the next time you see someone with a Fluxx deck, ask them if they want to play poker. When they say “No, let’s play Fluxx” you just cry out “I go first!” That’ll make them respect you. Or stab you - either option’s pretty good.

I’ve been playing some Freeciv lately. Nothing like being Sauron of the Mordors, cranking up the luxury rate and (nearly) falling out of your chair in hysterics when you read: Your citizens celebrate We Love The Dark Lord Day in Barad-dur!

Off to class!
