## Description
If you're a fan of Dice Hospital and looking to enhance your experience, this Deluxe Add-Ons Box is exactly what you need! It packs a punch with cool additions to make the game even more immersive and strategic. First off, you get five 3D ambulances that add a nice visual flair to your tabletop. There's also the 'Experimental Medicine' mini-expansion pack, introducing new ways to upgrade your hospitals and hire specialists. For those who appreciate the finer details, there are wooden tokens for blood bags and fatalities, plus a build-your-own hospital-themed dice tower for a personal touch.

The real gem of this expansion lies in how it plays with the dice. While keeping the euro-style control over dice manipulation you're familiar with from the base game, 'Experimental Medicine' offers an alternative approach to interacting with upgrade tiles. Now, you can creatively alter dice values: step them down with 'clinical trials,' re-roll them with 'experimental drugs,' or even swap values with 'transplants.' These new options unlock a range of versatile strategies, making the game more dynamic and surprising, especially when you combine these new abilities with the upgrades and specialists from the original game. It's a fantastic way to refresh the gameplay and discover novel tactics each time you play.
