Math Fluxx

About this board game

Math Fluxx is a number-focused game for 2–6 players, with sessions lasting about 30 minutes. Released in 2017, it turns the familiar idea of Fluxx into a challenge built around positive integers and mathematical goals.

Players use whole numbers in their quest to achieve the current goal. A goal might involve putting numbers such as 4 and 2 together to reach 42, but the arithmetic challenge does not stop there. Math Fluxx adds another layer of calculation through its distinctive Plan B Meta Rule.

Plan B introduces special victory rules that give players a second way to win. Instead of focusing only on the stated goal, players must also consider how the numbers they hold can satisfy an additional mathematical condition.

• Positive integers: Build your path to victory with whole numbers.
• Mathematical goals: Work toward goals such as 42 using the numbers in play.
• Plan B Meta Rule: Add special victory conditions for an alternative route to winning.
• Plus Victory: Win when the keepers in your possession add up to the current goal.

This combination makes Math Fluxx more than a simple number-matching exercise. Every goal can be viewed through the main victory condition and the extra possibilities created by Plan B, requiring even more arithmetic awareness.

The second edition of Math Fluxx introduced new cards to make the game even more mathematical. Math Fluxx brings numbers, goals, and alternative victory rules together in a compact experience where, as its description puts it, the fun is exponential.
