About the game

What is The Lucky Seven?

We were sent on patrol. The squad was depleted, morale in the pits. Then one of our guys exploded. Ambush. Surrounded. Our lucky day. We tried to hold them off and radioed for evac, but the helicopter wouldn’t come unless the landing zone was clear. We had to hold out. We had to survive… The Lucky Seven is a tactical solitaire game set in an unknown conflict of the 20th century. Like a tactics game, you will move and attack with your squad members to neutralize randomly placed threat cards and keep the situation under control. Like a solitaire game, The Lucky Seven is different every time you play and requires you to look ahead and make the most of your options. —description from the publisher
