Get Lucky

Gäste mit Mordsabsichten

Doctor Lucky has invited guests for a dinner party, but unfortunately his guests are all planning to kill him. Three out of 15 characters are laid out openly on the table und two are on display with each player, who also holds six improvement cards in hand. Doctor Lucky visits each character in turn who can choose one out of four actions: 1) Draw a card from the stack. 2) play an improvement card from your hand, either weapon, motive or opportunity, only one card per type and character is allowed. Each card can be played for any character, but is a perfect fit for only one character and scores 2 points with him. 3) Swap your character for one from the table, cards and Doctor Lucky go with it. 4) Try to kill Doctor Lucky: You announce the attack and sum the cards with the character; then in turn each player can play cards to deflect the cards with more Clover points or pass; at that point you can also play permanent Spite cards of value -1. The last in turn must deflect the attack if possible. If the attack is successful, you win instantly. Between turns Doctor Lucky moves to the character with the next-highest number; if he is in the Saloon you draw a card if you have less cards than the character’s number. When the pile is empty, you can no longer draw cards.

This is a cute interactive game with lots of flair due to the card texts; the pre-given path of the Doctor - contrary to the board game - introduces a lot of tactic. DO I need to assist in deflecting an attack or is it better to save my cards? Will the doctor still reach me? Can I deflect the attack of my predecessor to attack in turn?
