About the game
Clinic: Deluxe Edition is a heavy Euro game for one to four players who each build and manage a competing medical clinic, hiring doctors, nurses, and maintenance staff while constructing specialized modules to treat an ever-growing line of patients. Network and route building, pick-up-and-deliver logistics, and tile placement combine into a complex simulation of clinic operations. This deluxe edition rewrites the rules with beginner and expert setups, a solo variant, and refined bonus and penalty systems. It's a deep management puzzle about building the most efficient and popular clinic in town.
Hobbli's Notes
Clinic: Deluxe Edition is a weighty, intricate simulation that rewards players who love optimizing interlocking systems. Ian O'Toole's stunning art direction makes the sprawling clinic boards genuinely satisfying to look at as they fill up. Its high complexity and long playtime mean it's best reserved for dedicated Euro-gamers with time to invest.
