help - need rules to Luck Plus, from the makers of UNO
Jeremy Wonson
My parents were cleaning out their attic and I saw a card game that was
intact, except the rules were missing. It's called Luck Plus. It's
played with three dice and cards that resemble UNO cards. The box says
that it was made by International Games, Inc. in 1983. They owned the
game of UNO at that time. Now Mattel owns UNO and I have had a hard
time getting in touch with them. Any help locating the rules or a
manufacturer with the rules is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeremy

The worst case scenario would be actually buying a new set of UNO, so you
have two sets of cards. (Er, uh, no, the /worst/ case scenario is being
unable to buy a new set of UNO...) But you are clearly curious about the
play of the game, and might wish to refrain from buying a new set, unless
it is worth it, right?

Luck Plus is a card game only MADE by the same people as UNO--
in actuality, it's a cross between High Rollers and Craps.
It is my most favorite game, as I have sent the original postor
a *lengthy* dissertation about it, and an offer to mail him the rules.
The game LUCK PLUS went out of print about 10 years ago. I
searched for 5 years looking for another copy of it, and finally
have found two in the last six months.
I am currently getting permission, in fact, to release a shareware
card game of Luck Plus, probably in C++ or Java.
If anyone has a copy of this game they don't want, or sees it
anywhere, I'm willing to buy.
As for playing Luck Plus with a regular deck or other cards, it
is a shade tough. There are five colors...one color (green) has
as many cards as the other two main colors, (yellow and red.)
There are eight wild cards and six doubles cards. To use 2 decks
of playing cards, you'd need extra jokers and a good memory for
designating what suit does what.
The rules are complex--it is tough to just make a web page or
rules sheet about it.

You might be interested in the six-suit deck we are selling for our Ultimate Bidding Game, Roolz.
We offer six suits (red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple) of sixteen cards each (0-15), plus two special Rooler cards and two blank cards. It seems to me that the Roolz deck can be modified to play Luck Plus.
You can get more information about Roolz and download a shareware version of Roolz for Windows 95 by pointing your Internet browser to http://www.roolz.com

Luck Plus with a Roolz deck carries the same problem
that a regular card deck does--in that there are 48
green cards, 20 yellow, 4 special-yellow, 22 red,
6 blue and 8 white. Because the 'suits' are so long
and the distribution is not even, playing with a Roolz
deck would be only marginally better.
Can't download Rools, either....got a Mac. :^)
I may buy a deck of Roolz cards soon--John McLeod ,
though, noted that the six colors may be almost
indistinguishable to the color-blind---both I and my
brother have color-deficiency problems. Don't ask
me to take the Motor Vehicles dot test. :^)
Also, someone here wanted the rules to Luck Plus,
but never e-mailed me their address......are you
still reading??? :^) I've sent you two messages,
and I think I may have lost your e-mail address......

I have been looking for a copy(ies) of Luck Plus for a long time. I
used to play it all the time with my kids -- now I can't seem to find a
source or even a reference to it on the web. Can anyone help?
