Your Town Center is flourishing, but as the city grows, the need for emergency medical care grows with it. Fortunately, you and your business partners have the wherewithal to build a clinic to help those in need of more than first aid. You quickly get a pre-admissions facility built to help process and route the different cases into the appropriate queues. Unfortunately, just cause a schism between you, and you go your separate ways, with patients already lining up in pre-admissions. Each of you decided to build the clinic of your dreams, trying to hire doctors, nurses, and maintenance staff, and build new modules, specialized services, and even parking, in order to meet the needs of the patients ailing in pre-admissions.

This is your Clinic! build it however you like to give patients the care they need, so you can make your Clinic the most popular one in town!

The Deluxe Edition is a complete revamp of the original Clinic, released by Alban Viard (the designer) in France. The overhaul includes custom-shaped wooden meeples for each of the types of workers (Janitor, Doctor, Nurse, Cars, etc.) instead of cubes. The Deluxe edition also includes the following mini-expansions:
  • Blood Transfusion
  • Fire Extinguishers
  • Workaholic Doctors
  • Zombies in the Clinic

Clinic for Cynics

Think you can build the best hospital in Small City? Can you treat the ill? More importantly, can you make it profitable?

Alban Viard is a master of building games with tight economies. In Clinic, players are building competing hospitals in the same city. They try to recruit the best graduating doctors, build the newest facilities, and treat the most challenging patient cases in different specialties. Oh, and find a place to park everyone's cars. Really.

This game is quite heavy, with fairly dense rules for doing all the things above, plus admitting patients, moving people, building cost and constraints, and using special facilities. Frankly, it's tough to learn and a pain to teach. However, once you get going, most things click, and it is a delightful puzzle to play.

The "cynics" in my title are because players soon learn that the best way to make a profit is to let patients get as sick as possible and then treat them for the biggest profit.

I am still partial to the original art, but this new Deluxe Edition looks great and the component quality is excellent. If you are sick enough in the head that all this sounds good to you, then this could be just the treatment you need!
