About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for another round of murder at Craigdarroch Castle! "Kill Doctor Lucky: Craigdarroch" is an expansion that takes the hunt for the infamous Dr. Lucky to a new setting, a mansion filled with dark corners and perfect hiding spots for those with ill intentions. If you already enjoy the idea of being the murderer instead of the detective, this expansion offers more of the same, just in a different location with new opportunities to plan the perfect crime.

Dr. Lucky continues to have his usual luck, making the task of eliminating him a fun challenge full of twists and turns. The core mechanic revolves around trying to carry out the act without anyone noticing, while dodging other players' attempts to stop you or do the deed before you. It's a game of bluffing and timing, where patience is a virtue... or an excuse to wait for the right moment to strike.

This expansion adds the gothic charm of Craigdarroch Castle to the experience, with more spaces to hide and, of course, more chances to put an end to Dr. Lucky. Remember that to play, you need the original "Kill Doctor Lucky" game, as well as pawns for the players and a piece for the doctor himself. It's a treat for fans of the series who want to expand their murder options.
