## Description
Imagine your city center flourishing, but as the urban sprawl grows, the demand for emergency medical care skyrockets! That's where you come in. You and your former business partners decided to part ways after a disagreement on what the ideal clinic should look like. The result? A fierce competition to see who can build the most successful medical center in the region!

In this Deluxe Edition, you step into the role of a hospital manager who needs to organize everything: from managing patient flow in pre-admission to hiring doctors, nurses, and maintenance staff. The challenge is real: you must build specialized modules, ensure adequate parking, and manage services to make your clinic the most popular and efficient in town.

The Deluxe Edition brings improvements that make a huge difference at the table. The rules have been completely overhauled to offer a smoother learning curve, featuring two distinct rule sets: one for beginners and another for seasoned experts looking for a true challenge. Additionally, the solo experience has been enhanced with a dedicated variant, perfect for those solitary gaming sessions. And if you're a fan of premium components, get ready for the luxury: this edition includes a bag of laser-cut wooden meeples representing cars, doctors, and the entire support staff. It's the perfect blend of deep simulation and frantic logistical management. Get your stethoscopes ready and organize those queues, because the city's health depends on your efficiency!
