description Kill Doctor Lucky Overview
Kill Doctor Lucky is a board game designed by James Ernest and first published in 1996 by Cheapass Games. It reverses the familiar structure of a traditional murder mystery: instead of determining who killed a victim, players try to become the person who successfully kills the titular Doctor Lucky. The game uses movement, rooms, line-of-sight relationships, and concealed intentions to create a comic deduction and take-that experience built around repeated attempts to overcome the other players.
