Welcome to Pot Luck!
We are excited to relaunch this popular 1979 board game, Pot Luck, to worldwide audiences.
A competitive, hilarious board game played similar to Monopoly, in which you buy, sell and deal in marijuana rather than real estate. You buy pounds and bales instead of houses and hotels, and you draw FAR OUT and BUM ME OUT cards.
With the widespread legalization and acceptance of marijuana worldwide, and renewed interest and demand for retro games, it is time to bring this favorite back to the eager public via Kickstarter.
Pot Luck is a game in which the object is to become the wealthiest player through buying, selling and dealing in pot. The game begins at the “Straight Spot” square. Then you navigate your way around the board and purchase title cards in marijuana such as Maui Wowie, Thai Stick, and Panama Red, while buying and selling pounds and bales.

Win by having the most money or by being the only player with enough pot and money to continue.
Pot Luck was originally created in 1979 by two friends, who wanted to design a game concept to give people a fun, fictional opportunity to buy and sell pot in their own living rooms.
This game became a national sensation, selling more than twelve thousand copies during its first year of production. With Playboy and High Times featuring Pot Luck in their magazines, instant interest was created for this hot commodity.
It was headed for great success, even winning the Best New Product Award at the 1979 Chicago Gift Show. Unfortunately, during the early 1980”s, the timing from Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign forced all marijuana based businesses to close.
Now society’s attitudes has changed. Pot is mainstream and the world is ready for this exciting marijuana themed game, Pot Luck.
Build your empire by purchasing marijuana title cards and charging a “toking fee” for other players to share in your stash whenever they land on it. If you land on a “dealing” square, you can buy, sell, broker, or trade with any other player or players.
Over the past four decades, Pot Luck has become one of the holy grails of the retro gaming collectors movement, with original copies still being offered for over $400 on Ebay & Amazon.
We are looking forward to once again to making Pot Luck available for everyone to enjoy.
In order to do that, we will appreciate your support to fund and produce this game. Thank you in advance, for your contributions, which will be rewarded with our pledge program.
