The Origins Award–winning board game from Cheapass Games comes to your gaming table in a new full-color, high-quality deluxe edition featuring components on par with the best European board games.

Kill Doctor Lucky pits 3 to 7 players against each other in a race to see who can kill Doctor Lucky. The trick is that all the other players want to do it first and will stop at nothing to prevent you from having the pleasure. And the old doctor has earned his nickname well: he's got more lives than Rasputin and an uncanny knack for dodging your best traps. But his luck can't last forever. Before the game is over, someone is going to kill Doctor Lucky—wouldn't you rather it were you?

Everyone starts in the Drawing Room, and everyone wants to kill Doctor Lucky. Players move around the mansion looking for weapons and trying to catch the old man alone. Trying to kill the Doctor is pretty easy, but every other player can play Failure cards to stop you. Doctor Lucky's luck runs out eventually, though, and you just hope you can catch him when it does.

This new edition now includes the "...And His Little Dog Too!" expansion—three rules variants that feature Doctor Lucky's dog, Shamrock. He's just as lucky as his master and has an annoying habit of making you feel fond of him.

    Kill Doctor Lucky includes:
  • a full-color game board
  • a deck of 96 full-color cards
  • full-color rule book
  • 30 spite tokens
  • pawns and stands for seven players, Doctor Lucky, and his dog

Play this game at GameTable Online!

- Expected approximately December 2009

Kill Doctor Lucky, which sold out last holiday season, is returning to print, with a new lower price—and it now includes the "...And His Little Dog Too!" expansion!

Are the components inferior? Basically why is it cheaper AND have the expansion in it?

Not that I will not be getting it but just curious.

A couple of things. The first version had painted wood pawns. Because of all the issues with proving that the painted pawns weren't full of lead and such, we decided to go with cardboard characters representing the various people trying to kill the good doctor instead. We also found a really good printing price that allowed us to drop the price to the $29.99, a pricepoint that we were always aiming for but couldn't because of the printing price. Now, are the cardboard characters with all new art inferior to generic painted pawns? I guess that is something that each person will have to answer for themselves. Personally, I think that it is a step up in quality.

The cardboard characters look pretty cool in the picture provided. I can't wait to get this!

Can we buy the cardboard characters separately? I already have the game and the Doggie Expansion.
