"I LOVE Fluxx... I mean... not in the sense that I am
going to stalk you guys until you autograph my poodle, but in
the sense that 'Hell yeah' I am going to tell everyone I know
about Fluxx and Chrononauts and that if they don't play, they
seriously have not really lived, and to be as old as people are
and to have not really lived, well... that is just something
sad man... really sad... and no one likes sad stuff. This is
not my first... nor will it be my last... big order. Thank you!
For real... Thank you!" -- comments with
an order from Nick P of Chapel Hill, NC
The War, etc

We've Got Zombies! And Posters! |

 Zombie
Fluxx is here! Yay!!! It looks great, it plays great, it's
here on time, and best of all, it's already a hot seller! Our
first print run is 15,000 decks, and we pre-sold more than half
the run before any had arrived at our warehouse. Wow! Even now
our team
is crazy-busy working to get all those new zombies packaged
up and sent out to gamers and game distributors and game
stores everywhere.
Each deck contains 26 zombies, so this means we're sending
over 200,000 zombies out into the world this week!
The most exciting thing about this initial crush of excitement
is that it's already selling so well when so few people have
actually played the game. Just wait until people find out how
much fun it actually is! Because the gameplay really does rock...
it's got all the fun of basic fun taken to a whole new level.
Zombie Fluxx isn't just the same old game with new pictures --
there's a lot of new stuff going on, centered around the new
type of card I created for this game, called the Creeper. I think
this might be a case where the new version turns out to be even
better than the original!
To celebrate and promote the arrival of Zombie Fluxx, we decided
to make a poster
featuring the awesome cover art for this game. Since the posters
arrived at the same time as the decks, we impulsively decided
to automatically include one of these cool new posters with every
pre-order we ship. Therefore, if you or your store already has
Zombie Fluxx on the way, you'll be getting a Zombie Fluxx poster
along with it!
Also, speaking of posters, having created one for Zombie Fluxx,
we decided to make another one, for Treehouse.
We're still celebrating our winning of the Origins
Award for Best Board Game of the year, and a poster that
promotes it was a no-brainer.

 Both
of these posters
are 11"x17" and are available for a dollar each at
our webstore. And speaking of our webstore, we've done a bunch
of house-cleaning and reorganization in there. As part of temporarily
shutting down and reorganizing our Rabbit
reward program, we're phasing out the webstore known as the Dangling
Carrot. The page has been repurposed to become our Closeout
Center, where we've put all those wacky little items. Everything
in the Closeout center will be discontinued at the end of 2007.
Meanwhile, the main
Looney Labs section and the Short
Run Depot have been tweaked so that they contain Games
and Accessories
respectively.
Anyway, that's what's going on here.
Thanks for reading, and have a great fortnight!
