AIM OF THE GAME

The aim of the game is to get to LIMBO and roll a number 13 on the 20 sided dice. The first player to roll a 13 is the winner of the game.

Box Contents

  • 1x Board Game Box
  • 1x Foam Tray
  • 8x Sliders
  • 1x 6 Sided Dice
  • 1x 8 Sided Dice
  • 1x 20 Sided Dice
  • 1x Immunity Token
  • 35x Cards
  • 6x Marbles

How to Play

To set up 13: Unlucky For Some, shuffle the card deck and place in the middle of the board next to ‘LIMBO’. Place the 20-sided dice on ‘LIMBO’ and the immunity token on the immunity space.


Each player chooses which colour marble to play with and places their marble on the ‘START’ space. Each player will be given a RE-ROLL card. 

Each player takes turns to roll the 20 sided dice. The player who rolls the highest number will start the game.


At the beginning of each turn the player will roll the 6 sided dice and the 8 sided dice simultaneously. 


The player will move their marble forward by the number of spaces as shown on the 6 sided dice.


Next, the player will pull the slider that corresponds to the number on the 8 sided dice. Any pieces on the spaces on the slider will fall through the board and roll out. Place these back on the ‘START’ space.


Lastly, if a player has landed on a blue space they must take the top card from the deck and carry out the task on the card. If the card is played immediately, return the card to the bottom of the deck. Alternatively, if the card is to be played later in the game, keep hold of this card and once used, return it to the bottom of the deck.


Immunity Token

If a player lands on the immunity space they will receive the Immunity Token. The Immunity Token prevents that players marble from being dropped by any other players. All other players on the same slide as the player with the Immunity Token are also safe as the slide cannot be pulled if a player on the slide has the Immunity Token.


If the token is on the immunity space when a player lands on it, take the token and keep it until it needs to be returned. If another player has the token, they must give this to the player who is now on the immunity space.


The Immunity Token overrules all cards. Players cannot choose to put a player with the Immunity Token in the hole,  swap the drop with them, pull their slide if the 'Slide Puller' card is drawn, or swap their place on the board with another player. The player with the Immunity Token does not have to take part in 'Danger Slides'. If the player with the Immunity Token gets to LIMBO, they can keep the token to prevent other players moving them off of LIMBO.


Immunity ends if :


  • another player rolls a 6 on the 6 sided dice. The token must be returned to the Immunity space.

  • another player lands on the Immunity space. The token must be given to the player who has landed on the Immunity space.

  • The player with the Immunity Token lands on the hole on their turn.

When a player loses immunity, they must return the Immunity Token to the Immunity space.

The Hole

If a player lands in ‘The Hole’, they drop into the game, roll out and go back to the start.

Players cannot use a card to ‘Stop the drop’ or ‘Swap the drop’. If your fate is to go down ‘The Hole’, there is no escape.

If a player has immunity, they cannot be chosen to be put into ‘The Hole’ by another player.

If a player has immunity and lands on ‘The Hole’ by rolling the dice on their turn, they go down ‘The Hole’ and will lose immunity. The player must place the Immunity Token back on the immunity space.

  • How many people can play?

    13: Unlucky For Some can be played with up to 6 players. The more players there are, the harder the game becomes.

  • How long does it take to play?

    Now this is a tricky question. We've had a game that has lasted about 5 minutes due to the luck of drawing a card to 'GO TO LIMBO' and rolling a 13 almost immediately but what are the chances of that happening again?

    We've also had games that have lasted around 2 hours with 4 players. This shows how random this game can be. It depends if luck is on your side.

  • What is the minimum age requirement to play?

    We have played this game with friends and family with ages ranging from as young as 4 to over 70 but we would advise a minimum age of 6 to fully understand how to play. The game has been enjoyed by everyone in these ages and children can play with adult supervision due to the small components.

  • Do you have a rule book?

    We do! As well as being included in the box you can download the rule book from the 'How to play' section above.
