April 14, 1912.
A cold night in the Atlantic.
An errant iceberg, a titanic cruise ship, and one very lucky old man.
Doctor Lucky is a charismatic and well-respected philanthropist with a heart of gold. Of course, you secretly hate the old bastard, and you’re probably going to try to kill him someday. But killing him aboard a sinking ship would be pointless.
So you’ve decided to save his life instead, and do it while someone else is looking. That way, even if you go down with the ship, you’ll at least go down in history.
And isn’t that what life is all about?
In Save Doctor Lucky, players are passengers on a sinking ship. You have one goal: to save Doctor Lucky’s life while someone else is watching. Players rush from deck to deck trying to find items that will aid them, and trying not to see anyone else who might play the hero. But as the ship sinks, the board grows smaller, bringing Doctor Lucky and the passengers together into the few remaining decks.
Save Doctor Lucky includes:
- A four-part game board
- A deck of 90 card
- A rule book
- Pawns and stands for seven players and Doctor Lucky
Save Doctor Lucky is the standalone prequel to Kill Doctor Lucky, also available from Paizo Publishing.
A game by James Ernest.
Save Doctor Lucky was one of GAMES Magazine’s top 100 games of 2000.
ISBN: 9781-60125-290-6

It's getting close to release date.
Picture?

Not that I got anyone to play Kill Doctor Lucky up here yet. Almost sat down to play a demo game at Gencon.
Still probably buy though.

Thanks!
Outstanding!
I'm a big fan of the original "Kill Dr. Lucky" so I was excited when the original Cheapass version of "Save Dr. Lucky" came out. I don't know, just didn't feel right trying to save him. Nothing wrong with the game mechanics so perfect if you always felt ethically opposed to killing a helpless man with monkey paw.

He was particularly pleased with the board artwork.
Any chance of getting a copy of the Save Doctor Lucky rule book posted as a pdf?

I own both Doctor Lucky games and run a Play in Public Campaign group that is playing Save Doctor Lucky today.
I like to link to the game page on the publishers' websites so that those that are inclined can take a look at the game we'll be playing each week.
As a general principal, I love it when publisher's post the rules for their games. I look at it as good marketing. *not so subtle hint*
Thanks again, Vic.
A PDF of the rulebook for this game has been made available for download in the product description.
