About the game

What you do in a play session

If you were already a pro at Dice Hospital and thought you'd seen it all, get ready for this! Dice Hospital: Community Care arrives with three expansions that supercharge the base game, bringing more interactivity and that extra complexity we love. The 'City' expansion changes the patient intake phase: now you use ambulances and paramedics on a city board, choosing who to pick up and even earning bonuses for treating the most critical cases. Be careful not to leave anyone behind, or things could get ugly! And in the Kickstarter edition, there's even a helicopter for quick rescues.

The 'Maternity' expansion introduces pink dice for mothers and babies, adding an objective-based challenge to discharge everyone. It's a race against time (and the other players!) to match the right dice and ensure everyone leaves healthy. There's even a birthing die that decides if twins are on the way!

For those who enjoy optimizing everything, the 'Improvements' expansion offers a worker placement board to customize your rooms with upgrades. This adds a deep strategic layer, perfect for those who have already mastered the original game and want more customization and optimization options. With these additions, Dice Hospital: Community Care elevates the experience, ensuring hours of strategic fun for those seeking a more robust and interactive medical challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

7 questions
Do I need the base Dice Hospital game to play Community Care?
Yes, absolutely! Dice Hospital: Community Care is an expansion pack and requires the base Dice Hospital game to function.
How many players does this expansion support?
The base game is for 1 to 5 players, and the expansions maintain this count. The Kickstarter edition includes components for a 5th player.
Does the game get much longer with the expansions?
Game time might increase slightly, especially in the first few plays as you get accustomed to the new rules and mechanics. Expect something between 60 to 120 minutes depending on the group's experience.
What is the complexity level?
The BGG weight is 3/5, indicating a medium-complexity game. The expansions add more layers, so it might be a bit heavier than the base game, ideal for those already familiar with Dice Hospital.
What does each expansion add?
The 'City' brings more interaction to patient intake, 'Maternity' focuses on births and objectives, and 'Improvements' allows room customization with worker placement for those who want more 'crunch'.
Is it worth it for solo players?
Yes! The base game already has a solo mode, and these expansions add more variables and challenges that can enrich the solo experience for those who enjoy optimizing their own game.
Is it a lot of new things to learn at once?
It might seem so. We recommend introducing the expansions one at a time to avoid information overload. The 'Improvements' expansion, for example, can be played last as it adds more strategic complexity.
