Description Edit | History

Popular game from Cheapass Games, which specializes in quick games with very cheap components. Players are expected to supply the usual gaming stuff - dice, markers, etc; Cheapass Games supplies the rest with a large dollop of humor. In this notorious game, players move around the mansion trying to murder Dr. Lucky without being seen. An inversion of Clue. The key to the game is that you have to be in the same room as Doctor Lucky and no one else can see you.

In the Cheapass game Save Doctor Lucky the prequel to Kill Doctor Lucky, the goal is to prevent Dr. Lucky from drowning. (so that you can kill him later in his mansion) The key in this game is that you won't save him unless someone can see you.

Versions

Rule Variants

There are three rule variants, depending on which version of game you own.

The Cheapass Games and Titanic Games releases present spite tokens as optional. By a wide margin, BGG users seem to prefer using the spite tokens. Also, spite tokens can be used to increase the failure value when attempting to foil murder attempts.

In the Paizo Publishing release (with the Little Dog expansion), spite tokens are no longer optional. Also, spite tokens cannot be used to increase the failure value when foiling murder attempts.

4 The Villa - another board for Kill Dr Lucky
A board I designed myself. Print on adhesive paper, stick on cardboard and assembly to a bigger board with two folds. The text on the board says: It's already long time ago since you tried to kill the old man.He's got more luck than judgement. Now he disappeared from his mansion. But you got to know that he owns another, smaller estate. So go and get him! This board has less rooms than the original one.Following room-cards have to be discarded from the game: White Room, Greenhouse, Nursery and Hedge Maze

5 The Ghost of Mrs. Lucky
A variant for 'Kill Doctor Lucky', which adds a randomly moving witness. Works well with 2-3 players when you want to prevent games to be over too quickly.

6 Kill Doctor Lucky Tuckbox
This tuckbox is for the Titanic Games version of the game. It will hold all 96 cards. Template was created using Craig P. Forbes' tuckbox template generator found at http://www.cpforbes.net/tuckbox/ This is my first attempt at a tuckbox. Feedback would be appreciated. Enjoy! v1.01 Update - Corrected the top flap so that color fills the entire flap. Changed the color of some of the cut/fold lines so that they are easier to see after printout.
