OMGGGG!! What a great review and a great theme. My husband owns a healthcare startup and his current job is also building healthcare database infrastructure. I was really really impressed with the theme (or maybe the way you explained it 😂😜😘😘😘). I want it now. I think I just want the base game for now but the current KS will get you the base game only with the ALL IN pledge, I don’t want that. Let me look around in the second hand market. I really thought no, this game won’t be for me but what an excellent review you guys!!! Just lovedddddddddddd it!!! 😘😘😘😘 I can see Maggie’s excitement when explaining the theme (saying in her head I got this Amy 🤣 let me do it). Amazing review!!! ❤️❤️❤️

She gets so excited and it's hard for me to not get swept up into it as well 😊 So glad to hear that you enjoyed this one and good luck tracking down a copy - it doesn't seem too hard to find here. It's pretty heavy but maybe your husband will give it a go given he is in the field? That's so cool that he owns a healthcare start-up! Thanks for your support as always ❤

Hey you two, this is a great review, thank you for that. This is one of our favorite game (with Obsession) and the use of extensions is almost mandatory when you play a couple of times. Each add-on though adds so much to the gameplay, even if it seems trivial. The game balanced is kept for all the ones we played and we love all of them (our favorites are the “extinguishers” and the “zombies”). Cheers !

Great review and thanks for the reminder on the fiddly nature of the game. Not a deal breaker but always something to think about. Maybe as it "gains popularity" someone will design/market a good organizer solution. I am also in health care, (research) at a University Med Center, so the theme caught my eye when I first saw a prototype play through last year. Will be watching the campaign and will think about how it fits with my gaming groups. PS, we got a very rare foot of snow this weekend in Seattle so it has been lots of fun playing outside. It is going to be warmer and rainy again soon so enjoying it while we can. All the best!

It definitely needs and organiser but we were thinking about that and wondering how you would deal with the parts standing up on the board.

I can't even imagine what it would be like to wake up to that but it sounds really fun. We've had a very mild summer here so far but at least we can go on some nice walks while back in lockdown. Enjoy the beautiful snow! 😊

Another great review! If I didn’t already have a backlog of Lacerda games, I might venture into this one. Extensions, Expansions....I am assuming its basically the same thing? I see they (Publisher) calls them extensions but then also mentions Expansions. Semantics or is there a real difference? I actually like the parking integration into this. It’s a real issue. They should have included 3 dimensional parking too (ie. parking garage) 😁.
@ThinkerThemer

Haha I think extensions relates to the extension of the building (the clinic) and so is their thematic word for saying expansion. But I'm terrible with theme at the best of times and so I will continue to get them messed up in my mind. Yes a parking garage! I'm not actually sure if there are additional modules about the cars but it is one of my favourite elements because it is just so annoying like in real life lol.

This game has been on my shortlist for two years now... Ian O'Toole, need I say more? But I've heard so many mixed reviews and remarks that I have not yet dared to touch it. But Happy with your positive review, although the fiddliness sounds as a point of critique. Funny thing: I have also been talking about this game this afternoon with my GF, who is a ER doctor in a clinic. We were looking into which games could be beneficial for 'educational' reasons for doctors in training. But, this is indeed much more the management and logistic part of running a clinic. We are now looking into maybe developing one ourselves with the focus on 'Triage'.
