## Description
Get ready for an icy adventure on the high seas! In Save Doctor Lucky, you're aboard the unforgettable Titanic, but its maiden voyage is about to turn into a watery nightmare. The ship is sinking, and believe it or not, your mission is to save the stubborn Doctor Lucky! The catch? He's the epitome of stubbornness, convinced his good luck will save him from any danger. He'll reject all your rescue attempts, preferring to wander the doomed liner's corridors. How frustrating! But don't worry, revenge (or perhaps just a hard lesson) will come another time. For now, the focus is on saving him, even against his will.

In this fun and chaotic twist, you and the other players need to collect essential rescue items, but beware! Everyone else is also trying to save the Doctor, and to make matters worse, they'll use 'failure' cards to sabotage your efforts and prevent you from being the hero of the day. It's a game of hand management and plenty of 'take that' action, where every move counts and cooperation is a joke. With a map that shrinks as the ship sinks, the tension only builds. It's a brilliant twist on the original 'kill' Doctor Lucky concept, now with a nautical flair and a race against time (and against the other players!).
