## Description
*Clinic Expansion: Medical Dossier 1* adds a new layer of depth to the already fun clinic management game. With four large expansion tiles, you gain extra areas such as a dormitory, cafeteria, ambulance bay, and maintenance shop, each offering new abilities for doctors, nurses, and support staff. The highlight is the set of 48 Urban Design Cards, which reveal a 3D structure in three levels of complexity—think building a penthouse for directors who want to touch the sky. Additionally, players receive eight gray cubes, the “Janitors,” that keep corridors and elevators in order, and 12 player cubes representing building rules for the new structures. The game keeps the classic *Pick-up and Deliver* mechanic, requiring players to transport patients, equipment, and supplies efficiently, while the *Simulation* mechanic brings the hospital environment to life with events and decisions that impact daily operations. Ideal for those who love strategy, urban planning, and a touch of medical humor, this expansion increases the challenge without overloading the original experience. Get ready to manage more than just appointments—now you also need to handle infrastructure, logistics, and staff morale, all in a pace that blends tension and fun.
