About this expansion

Kill Doctor Lucky: Craigdarroch is a 1998 expansion for 3–10 players, with play lasting about 60 minutes. It moves the long-running pursuit of Dr. Lucky to Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, BC.

Craigdarroch is described as a huge and wonderful home, filled with unusual hiding places, craven killers, and countless opportunities to whack the old man out. As always, however, the doctor is as lucky as ever.

The game embraces the idea that the best part of a murder is not solving it, but doing it. Players take part in a darkly comic attempt to kill Dr. Lucky in a completely new location, using the castle as the setting for this latest pursuit.

  • Set in Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, BC
  • Designed for 3–10 players
  • Approximately 60 minutes of play time
  • Requires the original Kill Doctor Lucky game to play
  • Requires pawns for the players and a piece for Dr. Lucky

As an expansion, Kill Doctor Lucky: Craigdarroch adds a new place to the original game rather than functioning as a standalone title. Its castle setting, unusual hiding places, and cast of potential killers make it a distinctive entry in the Kill Doctor Lucky series.

The expansion has been out of print for quite some time and is highly sought after by many Cheapass Games connoisseurs. For players who already own the original game, it offers another setting in which to pursue the famously fortunate doctor.
