Killing Doctor Lucky (August 23)


Way back when we lived in Tallahassee and often haunted Lake Ella's cottage shops we encountered an alternative game to our favorite game, Clue. The premise of the game was that Clue started AFTER all the fun. Kill Doctor Lucky is essentially the prequel to Clue. In a large mansion players chase Doctor Lucky around trying to isolate him so that you can kill him. The other players have "failure" cards that can save Doctor Lucky. I bought the game for Vincent after learning about it but we had only played it a few times, since it is a long game...but not Monopoly long.



Sunday after church, Jessi, Vincent's now girlfriend, came over to hang out with Vincent. They hung out upstairs for awhile but then Perry and I were able to talk them into a game of Kill Doctor Lucky. Perry was exhausted from a long drive back from an Ohio funeral so sometimes we had to remind Perry when it was his turn since he would zone-out. Jessi seemed to enjoy the game even though we didn't have time to finish the whole game.

Vincent of course was the most maniacal and had the most murder attempts but together with the other players we were able to thwart all his attempts. Kill Doctor Lucky has some rather unusual weapons so all of Vincent's murder attempts brought laughs, especially the murder attempt for a tight hat. Vincent's evil laugh also kept us laughing.
