"WW5
is one of the most fun board games I've ever played. It was great
to sit back and watch my opponents try to annihilate each other
while I quietly invaded and conquered the country of my choice,
thus winning the game without having to fire a single shot or
defend myself." -- Message from Jim Dunaway

"Just wanted to let you know how much I am adoring
World War 5! Continuing
the theme of gameboards that utilize treehouse pieces in this
manner is awesome and I think it adds a lot to the greater 'system'." -- Message from Sam Zitin written on Andy's Facebook

"Been playing Fluxx since it first came out.
What a great game. Donated several Ecofluxx games to the school
science class! My kids love Zombie Fluxx. Can't wait to try Monty
Python Fluxx!" -- comments with an orer

"I decided to get more Fluxx cards because my
friend wanted to play so badly, he was tempted to steal the deck
from our math department's common room." --

| "My father was given a Fluxx deck, and the
whole family fell in love with it. When I asked a friend to pick
me up a deck at a local store, he also got Chrononauts for me,
which we loved even MORE -- so this year, I'm doing all of my
Xmas shopping from Looney Labs!!" -- comments

"We got our first version of Fluxx from
a friend several years ago. I now buy Fluxx for every birthday
party we get invited to - and I play the game with whatever kids
my teen daughter drags home with her - and they ALWAYS ask for
their own copies! We play Aquarius and Chrononauts at home too!"
-- Alexandra O, comments with Order #87746 |
"I was at a local game shop and someone
had specially ordered Treehouse. We checked it out and learned
how to play in 10 minutes, and wound up playing for 2 hours straight!
Great game guys :)" -- Stephen B of Holyoke,
MA |
| "I bought Fluxx and Chrononauts about 3
or 4 years ago and have since picked up a few more copies of
Fluxx as gifts, as well as adding Zombie and EcoFluxx to our
home collection. We LOVE to play and are looking forward to Monty
Python Fluxx. I also really enjoy your website and your messages
about drug use are very clear and educated. I am proud to support
your company, keep up the good work!" --

"I just played a fantastic game of Zombie
Fluxx with some friends at a party. It was one of the few games
that made my token "nongamer" friend want to be a part
of the game. That inspired me to track down some more Zombie
Fluxx items to make the game even better."
-- William D of Raleigh, NC |
"One of our students introduced us to Fluxx
while on a mission trip - when we weren't working or eating,
we were playing Fluxx!" -- Derek D of Stephenville,
TX |
| "Thank you so much for your games. I originally
gave Chrononauts to my nephews and they have been addicted ever
since. I have just given them EcoFluxx for their birthdays and
all other gifts were thrown aside once they had this in their
hands. Thank you for your excellent games and keep up the good
work." --Julie A, of Springvale, Maine |
"We've become huge fans of your games (since
we were introduced to Fluxx a few weeks ago). I am encouraging
all my teacher friends to get it for the classroom -- my 7 year
old son loves to play Fluxx -- and is motivated to practice his
reading skills in order to play." -- email

"I randomly decided to pick up Zombie Fluxx
at The Game Store and I found out that it was the sweetest game
ever! Than I went back and bought 3 more." --

| "Thank you very much for everything.
It's actually 100% because of Looney Labs that I own a game store
today: I have been a Mad Lab Rabbit for years; When Dov opened
Games & Gifts Galore a few years ago, he had asked Looney
Labs if there was anyone who could come to the store's Grand
Opening to demo Looney Labs games, and you guys gave him the
names of all of the local Rabbits. After helping out at the Grand
Opening, I helped Dov with dozens of other events for various
games and game systems, and after a couple of months I was hired
on permanently as the Store Manager. Now a couple of years later,
for the reasons I mentioned in the paragraph above Dov sold the
store to me. And now, at 21 years old, somehow I own and operate
a popular and successful game store, thanks to Looney Labs. Thank
you all, for *everything*." -- Christopher
DeSalvo, owner, Games
& Gifts Galore |
"A local gamer who belongs to our church
hosts a quarterly game night there. The last one was attended
for the first time by a young, Fluxx-owning couple active in
our congregation (luckily the ones who frequently watch our ten-month-old
for us, so we've seen them & played Fluxx since!). Everyone
loved it & no one wanted to leave when the night was supposed
to end! Thanks for making us want to own our own! : )" -- Comments with an order for a Christian Fluxx bundle,
from Pastor Natalya of Tower City, PA |
| "We have a game of the original Fluxx (second
edition I believe) and we love it. We own probably a hundred
games (we are game freaks!) and we play Fluxx
every day at least a few times a day."
-- Christine P, comments with order #89159 |
"Hopefully we'll win this auction. We're
HUGE fans of Stoner
Fluxx. We play every night before bed, without
fail. The deck we have we bought a few years ago, and
the cards are so sticky that it's near impossible to play. Thank
you for giving the world Stoner Fluxx. Huge fans." -- Lee and Becca, comments regarding the auction
at eBay of an unopened copy of Stoner Fluxx |

| "Chrononauts (and EAC) have been runaway
favorites for me. Firstly, time travel is a genre I've always
had a strong fascination with. It's hard for me to have a bad
session of Chrono. If Chrono were just about the timeline, or
just about the artifacts, it would be dull. But it's that combination
of all those things happening at once that really works for me.
Chrono is an adventure in a compact box. I never feel that I
am without a productive move, and I never feel so far behind
that winning seems unreachable. It's chaotic enough to keep things
fresh and exciting, and strategic enough that I feel like I'm
earning a victory, that I'm accomplishing something. It has a
pace that lets me sit back and just enjoy watching the game unfold,
yet lets me participate in that unfolding. (I also play Fluxx
and Icehouse games, too!)" -- Ryan
Hackel's Rabbit Wiki Bio |
"I learned to play Fluxx after a day at
the Oregon Brewers Festival. I have loved it ever since. It's
fun precisely for the reasons that 'gamers' hate it. Strategy
can be planned and formulated and then you have to scramble to
reformulate it. Primarily, for me, the game doesn't seem like
work. One of the reasons I don't enjoy computer RPG games is
the grinding tedium of them that makes them ultimately seem like
very complicated but nevertheless tedious factory work. Fluxx
is more like backgammon than anything else that I can think of.
You can have a strategy, sure, but one little dice roll can keep
you bumped and ruin everything you were working on for the whole
game. That tends to be why chess players don't care for backgammon.

article about Fluxx on BoingBoing |
"2007 was a very 'Looney' year for my wife
and I. We went from only owning regular Fluxx to having every
boxed Fluxx game, Aquarius, Chrononauts, and lots of pyramids
among other Looney things. Many people in our family gave and
received Looney Labs' games at Christmas and we played many of
them together on New Year's Eve. So, THANK YOU! for bringing
so much fun and joy into our lives!" --
Anthony K, from a private email |
| "I love Fluxx. It's most certainly untrue
that there is no strategy to the game--sound strategy will increase
your chances of winning significantly--but it is true that there
is a lot of randomness to the game. That makes it a game that's
wonderfully suited to people who revel in the unexpected and
completely ill-suited to people obsessed with winning every game
they play." -- Jordan, comment #47 added

"I've played Fluxx (use this
game with students in Reading classes that I teach), Zombie Fluxx
(LOVE THIS GAME!!!!), Treehouse, Martian Coasters, Aquarius (LOVE
THIS GAME!!!!), and Chrononauts (use this game with students
in Reading classes that I teach)for the past five years. I saw
Fluxx at a local game store (Tabletop in Overland Park, KS) about
five years ago. I started playing Fluxx with my middle school
Reading students. They LOVED Fluxx. I now use it as a reward
for completing lessons. Every year I introduce new students to
the game. I get the same reaction year after year: 'Where can
I get this game?!?!?' My students beg me to play Fluxx AT LEAST
once a week after I introduce it to them. I like to teach and
play the game with them because it requires them to READ what
is printed on the cards (BRILLIANT IDEA!!!). They are reading
while they think they are getting out of reading(pretty sneaky,
huh?). I also give away copies of Fluxx to students who have
top scores on their end-of-year Scholastic Reading Inventory
tests. I have introduced all of these games to many, many people
over the past four years. Everyone is blown away by these games...
Thanks for providing all of us with hours and hours of great
fun with the games Looney Labs has produced!!"

| "I have found that a demo copy of Treehouse
on the counter and a 60 second demo game sells out more copies
of Treehouse than any other game I demo. It is one of those games
that has to be played in order to realize just how much fun it
is. And as soon as you beat whomever you are demoing to, rest
assured they will want a rematch...like money in the bank." -- Eric J. Morgan, Critical Effect Games |
"First of all, I want to say
'Thank you' for such a great new game, Zombie Fluxx! I've demo'd
the game at the store and played multiple times with my co-workers,
my wife and a few friends. Everyone who has tried the game has
asked to play multiple rounds and had a great time. Even those
few who haven't played Fluxx before (I've introduced it to everyone
I know) had an easy time grasping the ever-changing rules and
laughing at the fast paced format... As a side note, I've been
talking about Fluxx, Chrononauts, Nano-Fictionary and Aquarius
to everyone I know for years. Zombie Fluxx is the first game
that seems to appeal to everyone I mention it to. It looks like
you've created a real winner and I thank you for the 'doorway'
to your other great games. My non-game playing friends are already
interested in sitting down with Aquarius soon."
