Monty Python Fluxx gets several new cards with the introduction of the Castle Expansion pack and the Sir Not-Appearing Promo Postcard. And there was much rejoicing!
You know you’ve always wanted a Castle! …unfortunately it also comes with a pesky French Knight, who is sure to Taunt you mercilessly. Seven new cards to add to the insanity that is Monty Python Fluxx.
Fans of the antagonistic French taunters and their “outrageous accent” will particularly appreciate the Castle Expansion pack since most of the cards are dedicated to those characters. It’s nice to see the Legendary Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh finally get his castle, too.
The new cards and their rules are:
- Goal: Camelot — You win if you have the Castle and any Knight of the Round Table on the table in front of you.
- Goal: The Castle of Aaarrghh — You win if you have the Holy Grail and the Castle on the table in front of you.
- Keeper: The Castle — If someone targets you with the Catapult while you have this in play, none of your Keepers are discarded.
- Creeper: French Persons — You cannot win if you have this unless the Goal says otherwise.
- Goal: Taunting by the French — You win if you have French Persons and the Castle on the table in front of you.
- Action: I Shall Taunt You a Second Time — If the French Persons are on the table, move them to another player. If not, find them and give them to the player of your choice. Look first in the discard pile; if you have to look in the draw pile, shuffle it afterwards.
- New Rule: I Told Them We Already Got One! — The French Persons count as any other Creeper if you need a specific Creeper to meet the Goal.
There’s still no “I Bet You’re Gay!” card, alas, but perhaps one will be added in the next expansion pack release.
The Castle Expansion pack is available online for $3.00 US or, for a limited time, free with a $10 purchase from participating game stores. Search Looney Labs’ Retailer Roster to find the Looney Labs Superstore nearest you. At such a low price, how can you not afford to add all this extra fun to your game?
This special promotional card is an amusing nod to “(The aptly named) Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Film”, the infant knight who appeared briefly in the opening credits of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. According to Looney Labs, “This Keeper card works only in Monty Python Fluxx where it functions as an additional Knight of the Round Table.” At $1.00 US per postcard, or free with purchase like the Castle Expansion pack, you’ll want to get two, one to play with and one to keep pristinely intact as a collectable piece. The postcard instructions say “Here is a new Knight for your Monty Python Fluxx game — to join the other Knights of the Round Table in their Quest for the Holy Grail! For best results, use scissors to remove card.” If you have an X-Acto knife and a steady hand, you’ll get even better results, eliminating any telltale rough edges that make punch-out cards so easy to spot in the deck.
Monty Python Fluxx supports 2-6 players, ages 8 and up. Game length: 10–40 minutes.
