Yeah, it's called the Denison (or Dension, depends on where you look) icelink, check it out at http://www.densionusa.com/x/index.php?option=conte nt&task=view&id=375&Itemid=79

Fluxx is horrible. YMMV. Check out www.boardgamegeek.com for the state of the art, and then go to www.funagain.com or www.gamesurplus.com or www.fairplaygames.com and order the top 10 on their sales list. I am not affiliated with these sites:)
There are quite a variety of boardgames out there, and opinions are quite varied among the various boards devoted to them. The important thread for some is competition, for others it's social interaction. Personally, i find who you play with to be as or more important than what you play. YMMV.
Don't be put off by the discussion of cost either, there are many good games at minimal expense with excellent replay value, such as Carcassone ($13 online). Some may consider Talisman worth tremendous sums, but that's a specific case, for sure. And not that great a game in my opinion.
Also, i'd stay clear of the Steve Jackson/CCG/RPG/games workshop stuff, if looking for social/family style gaming. Here's a quick 5 picks i'd recommend:
Carcassone (great for 2-5)
Liars Dice
El Grande
Ra
San Marco
