Things That Make You Say “Oy”

This follows along the line of my Tefillin Barbie link I posted yesterday. Whilst breezing through BoardGameGeek, I saw an ad for a game that made me go “huh?”

It appears that Looney Labs has released… Jewish Fluxx (although the web page is oddly titled “Christian Flux”). From the website:

Jewish Fluxx is a booster pack of 7 new cards to add to your Fluxx deck.

You get two new Keepers: Torah and Candles, and three new Goals: Tradition, Shabbat, Torah Study. Two other special cards give players a bonus for showing or knowing their Jewish heritage:

New Rule: Judaica Bonus. If you are wearing a something with a Magen David or a Chai, you may play 1 extra card during your turn.

Action: Hebrew Knowledge. Set your hand aside and draw 3 cards. If you can say a Hebrew word AND spell it in Hebrew characters, play all 3 cards. If you can say a Hebrew word but can’t spell it, play 2 cards. If you can’t think of a Hebrew word no one has used yet, say “Shalom” and play 1 card. Discard the remainder.

Oy Vey! You know, I never thought I would be saying this, but Tefillin Barbie really has more depth.
