"The winner in the traditional card game category, beating out Geek favorite Race for the Galaxy, is Andy Looney’s Zombie Fluxx (Looney Labs)” Anxiously awaiting comments on this--I could use a good laugh today. There may be more than one Critical Hit aimed at Mr. Chalker and the Origins voters! BTW, congratulations to Andy Looney. I have had my share of fun at your expense with the Fluxx franchise, but it is loved by many and you and Kristin have done a masterful job of extending the game to different themes. I have no desire to play it again, but that doesn’t mean the world of gaming isn’t richer for having all the Fluxx titles available. Congrats to the FFG boys and to Glenn Drover as well.

I heard that last year, Looney Labs had a very effective “Get out the vote” campaign at the fair. I guess they brought it again, this year. Posted by Rob Cannon on Jun 29, 2008 at 03:49 PM | #

Sorry, Dave. So far, no fireworks at BGN, anyway! Posted by Larry Levy on Jun 29, 2008 at 11:23 PM | #

I think we’re all calm and reasonable sorts, Larry. Either that, or we’ve fallen prey to the fluxxian zombies and had our brains eaten. Take your pick! Eric Posted by W. Eric Martin on Jun 29, 2008 at 11:32 PM | #
