Q: In Solo Fluxx, do Creepers prevent me from winning the whole game, or just keep me from being able to achieve Goals?
A: Having a Creeper unrelated to the current Goal prevents you from gaining that Goal, even if you have the required Keepers. There’s no such thing as “winning” or “losing” the solo game, since it’s more about how many Goals you can achieve in the course of play.
Q: In Solo Fluxx, if you play Let’s Do That Again, and pull a Rule from the Rule discard pile, does it just go into play immediately in the middle of your turn?
A: Yep! And it takes effect immediately!
Q: Does a game of Solo Fluxx end as soon as the Rule deck flips it’s last card, or does the player get to take one more turn?
A: The game goes until either “side” needs to draw a card, and can’t. So if the Rule deck draws and plays its last card, that’s fine, the game continues. If the player can draw ALL of the cards they need to, they can start their turn.
It’s possible that something they do will require them to draw more cards mid-turn, of course, so they might not be able to complete their turn, but they might still get something done before that happens.
So hold off on that D3P2 if it’s going to end the game but you still have things you could accomplish!
Q: If I meet the win conditions for a Goal in Solo Fluxx, am I required to collect that Goal? Would I really have to discard 10 cards from my hand to meet that Goal?
A: Yes, you would have to discard 10 cards from your hand, and for that reason alone, Andy has ruled that collecting Goals in Solo Fluxx is optional.
Q: How can I use First Card Random in a Solo Game without another player to pick a card from my hand?
A: It’s quite possible to select a random card from your own hand. Just turn them face down and mix them around in your hand, then pick one at random. It could be the top card if you like – since you’ve just mixed them up, it doesn’t really matter, though. For this reason we figured this card didn’t have to be removed for the Solo game.
Q: If I play Empty the Trash in a Solo Fluxx game, do I get to shuffle the Rules discard pile into its draw pile, or only my main draw pile?
A: No. If you get a card which lets you shuffle the discard into the draw pile, it does NOT apply to the Rules draw and discard.
Q: In Solo Fluxx, if a Goal indicates a choice of several Keepers needed, must I discard all the Keepers mentioned which I have in play, or can I choose which will go towards fulfilling that Goal?
…For example, if a Goal says that three out of five Keepers shown are needed to win that Goal, and I have four of those Keepers, must I discard all four, or can I choose which three to discard, and which one I will keep in play?
A: You don’t have to discard all the Keepers mentioned, only enough to gain the Goal, so you get to pick which Keepers you will discard, and which will stay in play.
Q: When playing Solo Fluxx, can one win a Keeper-only Goal if you also have Creepers in front of you?
A: We always try to do things in Solo Fluxx in the same way as regular Fluxx – except when they have to be different. So Creepers do all the same things they usually do.
They prevent you from winning unless the Goal says otherwise or a rule or other conditions say they don’t matter. Sometimes you might need a Creeper to win, in which case you discard it as you do with the Keepers you win with. But if you have other Creepers that stop your win — even if the Goal is one that requires other Creepers — you must deal with those other win-stoppers before you can claim that Goal.
Q: In Solo Fluxx, if I win with a Goal that requires a Keeper, and a Creeper which is attached to some other Keeper, does the attached Keeper also have to be discarded when I claim the Goal?
A: Attaching Creepers stay with their Keepers until they reach the discard pile, so the “host” Keeper must be discarded along with its attached Creeper when you claim a Goal that needs that Creeper.
Q: Can I achieve Goals at all Solo Fluxx if I have 2 or more Creepers in play?
A: If a Goal calls for all Creepers you have in play, then yes, you could achieve it, but, as in multi-player Fluxx, even if you need one Creeper for a Goal, if other Creepers would prevent your achieving it, then you’re stuck for a while until you can get rid of the blocking Creeper/s.
Q: In Solo Fluxx, can I Zap a New Rule card? If so, what happens to it?
A: It’s a bit tricky, but, yes, you can Zap a New Rule. This is one of those rare times in Solo Fluxx when a New Rule becomes part of your hand. You can choose to replay it as one of your Plays any time later. If it ends up being discarded, it goes back into the Rules discard pile.
Q: Am I the only weirdo wondering about Solo Tiny Fluxx?
A: We guarantee you are absolutely not the only weirdo wondering about whether one can play Solo Fluxx using the Tiny Fluxx deck, since it isn’t in the version list.
In fact, Andy says “I did play test that, and found it kinda pointless, so we decided not list it. But it does work… in fact, it’s the most difficult version to win. I think I only got 1 point once in 5 or 6 games.”
Q: In Solo Fluxx, if I have a Double Agenda can I win both Goals simultaneously by playing an overlapping Keeper?
…for example, Chocolate Milk & Chocolate Cookies by playing chocolate?
A: Yes! In this case, you can get Double value for a Keeper!
