About the game

What you do in a play session

This expansion of *Clinic* adds a simple yet handy bonus: a tile module that lets a player treat a patient without moving the vehicle away. Instead of the usual back‑and‑forth to pick up the patient, just flip the patient tile from red (discharge phase) to yellow (treatment phase) or from orange (admission phase) to white (ready). The goal is to cut wait times and boost clinic productivity while keeping the core pickup‑and‑delivery mechanic intact. The workflow simulation gains a realistic touch, as players must decide when it’s worth using the bonus or waiting to treat the patient along their own route. Tile placement remains the foundation, with clinic corridors built to optimize service routes. In short, the expansion doesn’t add complex new rules, but offers a handy shortcut that can change how you plan each turn. If you’re familiar with the base and want a tweak that speeds up play, this is a solid choice—just remember the bonus is limited and doesn’t replace route strategy. For those who love fine‑tuning every move and want a bit more speed in treatment, it’s worth a try.
