I was quite puzzled by that declaration as well. Strategic possibilities? I guess you can play your cards in several ways (except that often you can't), but most of the time it does not really matter how you choose to do things. You can't predict what you should do to win, you can't predict how you can prevent others from winning... you can't predict anything really, which pretty much erases all the possibility for strategy.

I think there is something wrong with the "game", when people don't necessarily realise that someone has actually won (most often because they are too bored to pay attention anymore) and if they realise, they most certainly don't care.

Fluxx has a nice idea, but the gameplay is just awful. As someone mentioned, it's a form of social activity, not a game. Personally I find others forms of social activity much more entertaining.
