Luck Plus (1983)

About this game

Luck Plus is a unique card and dice game of number matching. This game is for 2 to 8 players, ages 7 and up. It comes with 108 cards, 2 dice, and instructions. The cards are divided out as follows: 48 GO cards - 4 set, of Green cards 1 through 12 22 STOP cards - 1 set of red cards 1 through 12. 1 set of red cards 1 through 10. 20 TRANSFER cards - 1 set of yellow cards 1 through 12. 1 set of yellow cards 5 through 12. 4 TRANSFER PLUS cards - 1 set of yellow cards 1 through 4. 6 DOUBLES cards 8 LUCK PLUS cards The object is to be the first player to eliminate all of your cards by matching cards and dice. Each player is dealt 8 cards face up. The remaining cards are stacked face down in the center of the table to form the draw pile. The top card of the draw pile is turned face up and placed next to the draw pile to form the match pile. Each player will then try to get rid of as many cards as possible by matching the numbers on the cards with the numbers on the dice they roll. There’s a bit more to it than that, but you’ll have to see the rules to get the whole picture.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
