Cool to see it completed.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is an awesome concept, and pretty well executed.  My one beef is not being able to manipulate the order cards are played in, which is what gives Fluxx its strength.  How else is it determined when you play &quot;Play 2&quot; and &quot;Play 1&quot; in a single turn?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, though, love the concept, and it's executed well for the compo."},{"author_name":"elemel","author_uid":"19459","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 9:04pm","epoch":1418158740,"text":"At first I was put off by the introduction, because the game sounded overly complex.

Only criticism I see with it is it seemed like the cards I picked didn't matter. Perhaps make cards with stronger effects?"},{"author_name":"HuntTheWumpus","author_uid":"30702","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 10:15pm","epoch":1418163000,"text":"@ketura: Thanks. Yes, the order in which the selected cards are played is random (or not random, but you don't have any influence on it) Due to the lack of time, I didn't implement an ordering mechanic :\/"},{"author_name":"Jim Haslett","author_uid":"11411","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 10:32pm","epoch":1418164020,"text":"Interesting concept.
