## Description
Alright, doctor, ready for an emergency? In Healthy Heart Hospital, you and your elite team of physicians have just staged a 'clinical coup' to save the Healthy Heart Hospital, which was struggling under the previous administration. The hospital's reputation is on the line, and the pressure is immense! Managing a hospital from the inside is far more complex than it seems from the outside, and you'll need all your cunning to balance responsibilities and prevent the pursuit of a cure from turning you into a cynic who hides the 'side effects' of your work. Does your team have what it takes to restore the hospital's glory without losing their own sanity (or ethics) in the process? This is a cooperative game for 1 to 5 players, where each round is a race against time. Patients arrive in droves, represented by colored cubes: the color indicates the illness, and the number of cubes shows its severity. You and your colleagues will spend action points to diagnose, treat, and hopefully cure these patients. But be careful, the 'push your luck' mechanic might make you risk a bit more than you should. Get ready for tough decisions, lots of cooperation, and the feeling that every turn is a new emergency! It's a medical simulation challenge that will test your management and teamwork skills.
