Kill Doctor Lucky is a board game designed by James Ernest and released in 1996 by Cheapass Games. In 1998, Kill Doctor Lucky won the Origins Award for Best Abstract Board Game of 1997.
Kill Doctor Lucky is, in concept, a sort of inverse form of Clue. Players compete to be the first to kill Doctor Lucky. Gameplay involves moving around a board, trying to move into the same room as the Doctor while remaining out of the line of sight of the other players, and using a system of cards to attempt murder and frustrate the attempts of other players.
