## Description
In Dice Hospital, you step into the shoes of a hospital administrator tasked with saving lives and, of course, impressing the local authorities. The goal is to treat as many patients as possible, and to achieve this, you'll rely on your hospital staff and a neat worker placement system. Each patient is represented by a die, with lower numbers indicating a more critical health condition. You'll use your workers to perform actions on your personal player boards, trying to heal these patients. But wait, there's more! For more complex situations, you can call in specialists who provide extra help and earn you more reputation points. The game cleverly blends dice rolling with worker placement in a unique way. The dice aren't just patients; they can also act as your workers in certain scenarios, adding an extra layer of strategy. The modular board ensures that each game presents a fresh challenge, and the solo mode is a great option for those who enjoy playing alone. It's a game with a distinct theme, managing to be both lighthearted and strategic. Perfect for anyone who enjoys a dice-based challenge with a touch of hospital management!
