About the 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.

Questions and answers

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Luck Plus is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Luck Plus for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Luck Plus has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
