## Description
If you think a doctor's life is all glamour and stethoscopes, get ready for the chaos of Central City Hospital! Imagine an overcrowded hospital, understaffed and looking a bit run-down. That's exactly where you come in. Your goal isn't just to save lives (though that would be nice), but to make sure the glory of the cure lands in your hands and not your colleague's. In Bad Doctor, you play a physician trying to survive their shift without letting anyone die on their watch—which, let's be honest, is quite the challenge! The gameplay is a race against time and, quite frankly, against negligence. To treat patients, you must place treatment tiles that match the disease symbols. If you succeed, your doctor marker stays there, making sure everyone knows who the real hero is. But watch out: if you ignore a patient for too long, they start accumulating complication cubes. If they run out of space for these cubes, well, they've passed away on your shift, and the shame is all yours! The game is a competition to see who can cure the most patients efficiently before the chaos takes over. The winner is the first to collect eight doctor markers. It's a light, fast-paced game perfect for those who enjoy a bit of chaos and a laugh at the patients' expense. It's ideal for players who want a fun experience without needing a 500-page medical textbook, but with the constant tension of: 'will this patient survive until my next turn?'
