## Description
Get ready for a race against time in Dice Hospital: ER – Emergency Roll, a 'flip, roll & write' version of the acclaimed Dice Hospital! Here, each player takes on the role of a hospital director, with the mission to treat as many patients as possible, filling wards, dealing with critical cases, and managing the nursing staff. Oh, and don't forget to use screens to isolate patients and keep the specialists happy, because your hospital's reputation is on the line!

Each round, the adrenaline pumps as the ambulance card is flipped, revealing three fresh actions and the dice that will be rolled, each with its associated color. The active player has the tough task of choosing the best action and its corresponding die. But don't worry, the other players aren't left idle: they can choose any of the remaining actions and their die to make their own moves. It's a clever dynamic that keeps everyone engaged!

As the ambulance passes to the next player, the tension builds. The game continues at this frantic pace until the ambulance deck runs out. In the end, whoever has treated the most patients and accumulated the most points will be the big winner, proving to be the best medical crisis manager. It's a standalone game, so you don't need the original Dice Hospital to dive into this emergency experience!
