Looney Academy Update
In this month's Looney Academy column, Carol talks about our new educational brochure. The brochure talks about our games and how they meet various state and national standards, and it also includes ideas from teachers all over about how they use our games.
"This experiment measured the effects of tactical decision making on the likelihood of victory in the card game Fluxx, and gauged the amount of first player advantage. Two hundred test games were conducted in which players alternated the roles of first player and of playing randomly. It was found that the tactical player won 86% of the games, while the random player won 14%. The starting player won 54% of all games. This concludes that Fluxx players greatly benefit from tactical decision making, but that first player advantage is negligible."
