Dmrrostarr, Fluxx is a game that's both chaotic and great fun. You are dealt a hand of three cards and the basic rule of the game is "draw one, play one". In your hand are keepers, creepers (MP Fluxx has em, played immediately and don't count against your cards played), goals, rule cards, and action cards. The object of the game is to have the keepers and/or creepers in play (creepers are normally bad cards that prevent you from winning the game--unless altered by a specific goal or rule) that match the goal or goals currently in play.
Fluxx is a highly appropriate name for the game as almost everything about it can change on the play of a single card. The amount of cards you draw, the amount you play, how many cards you can have in your hand (aargh, hate that 0 hand limit rule), the goal you are striving for, whether cards harm or help you--all are highly mutable and altered from turn to turn.
Monty Python Fluxx is a great marriage of theme and rules. Just as Python can seem absurd and ludicrous at time, so can Flux. Although there are no mentions of the word spam (copyright concerns I guess), rabbits with pointy teeth, shrubbery, rules that encourage you to sing a Python song or talk with a fake accent, keepers like the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch--all are in there.
Chess it isn't, but Monty Python Fluxx is a great filler and a good light game.

God this sounds like a great beer game!!! :)
Wow, $11 for shipping a deck of cards UPS Ground? No thanks... Looney Labs only charges $4.Sigh. We probably have an incorrect weight in our system (at that rate, I'm guessing it's the weight for the full display box). We'll fix it on Monday; I suspect shipping will get a lot cheaper.
I've adjusted the weight—shipping should be more reasonable now.
