Fluxx

Today we introduced a card game called Fluxx. It takes its name from the fact that the rules are in a constant state of change and so are the winning conditions. I thought it would be a good way of challenging the youngsters minds as they must constantly read and try to understand the rules and the cards. There needs to be discussion in order to figure out what the cards actually do and the interpersonal skills and game dynamics are probably not in constant use in the students everyday lives.
