Game-Loonacy
Price-$15
Producer-Looney Labs
Players-Two to Five
Set-Up/Play/Clean-Up- Five minutes (YEP! FIVE MINUTES)
TL;DR-SLAM DOWN CARD FUN! 93%
Basics-I usually do long, drawn out, complicated games, but here goes a quickie. Loonacy is a quick shape matching game. Each card has two shapes dividing the card in two. If you play Fluxx, you will recognize all the shapes are former card art from all the different Fluxx games. There will be between four and one piles of cards. Players rapidly SLAM cards onto piles where at least one shape matches. There are NO turns, and no quarter given! Can't play a card? Then you point to the draw deck, and when all players are pointing, you draw, and start again. No turns, not long thought process, just slamming cards down as quick as possible. AMAZING! First one out of cards wins!
Theme-There is no theme here, but then again, there should never be theme in this kind game. 0/0
Mechanics-The game is quick and simple. It's not bad, but for my crowd, some of the hard-core Eurogamers got in fights over how to draw cards. REALLY GUYS!? It's fun, but a bit simple. 4.5/5
Instructions-The instructions cover one side of a page. That's it. But, you don't need any more instructions than that! 5/5
Execution-Cards are nice, and the art is good. BUT, I really hate recicled art. This product is ONLY recycled art as it's all the art from every fluxx game out there. It's not bad art, but it's recycled. If you can get past that, it's a great product. 4.5/5
Summary-Want a card slapping game you and your friend can play at Burger King at 4AM after a marathon DnD game? Here you go! Want a game you will spend weeks organizing at making sure all the players can make it? This is not it! This is a fun, simple game designed to get players having fun quick. Honestly this is Uno if all the players just played at the same time and all the offensive cards were removed. If you like the Fluxx team, buy this. If you want a quick family game, buy this. It's ~15 bucks. For a simple, quick game, that's a good value. 93%
