Clinic: Deluxe Edition 主題診所 主遊戲
Your Town Center is flourishing, but as the city grows, the need for emergency medical care grows with it. Fortunately, you and your business partners have the wherewithal to build a clinic to help those in need of more than first aid. You quickly get a pre-admissions facility built to help process and route the different cases into the appropriate queues. Unfortunately, just before groundbreaking, your differing views of the ideal clinic cause a schism between you, and you go your separate ways, with patients already lining up in pre-admissions. Each of you decides to build the clinic of your dreams, trying to hire doctors, nurses, and maintenance staff, and build new modules, specialized services, and even parking, in order to meet the needs of the patients ailing in pre-admissions.
This is your Clinic! Build it however you like to give patients the care they need, so you can make your Clinic the most popular one in town!
Possible exhaustive list of differences between the Deluxe edition and previous edition:
- The rules have been totally rewritten
- The rules offer two sets up for beginners and experts
- The rules include a solo variant
- Many bonuses and penalties have been changed such as when a Patient dies in your hospital, the turn order has been updated and clarified
- The box includes a bag of wooden laser cut meeples for the cars, the doctors, the staff and the nurses
Clinic: Deluxe Edition The Extension 主題診所 擴充一
The brand newest CliniC: Deluxe Edition the Extension contains all expansions (at least 12 expansions) already released in the medical dossier #1, medical dossier #2 and medical dossier #3, with new rules, new components, new lay outs and new tiles with new graphics and illustrations from Ian O'Toole.
Clinic: Deluxe Edition 2nd Extension 主題診所 擴充二
Just as you are finishing a tricky game of Clinic Deluxe Edition, including 6 expansions of The Extension, against your best friends on a Saturday evening, you learn by listening to HeavyCardboard.com, your favorite podcast, that the designer of the game, Alban Viard, has just announced the release of a new salvo of expansions. It contains no fewer than 13 expansions, obviously all compatible and combinable with each other (except where specified otherwise in the rules). You immediately rush to find a copy, which you unearth via your favorite shop or Kickstarter. You start reading the rules, again asking yourself how to integrate all these new parameters, which would raise your Clinic experience to a level of realism never seen before.
You stare groggily for a moment, your gaze swimming vertiginously in the face of this rulebook and its administrative twists and turns, produced by the convolutions of the designer’s brain.
Is this even still a game, or will it end up as demanding as a hard day at the office?
That’s for you to say….
Clinic: Deluxe Edition 3rd Extension 主題診所 擴充三
After the serious and realistic expansions of The Extension and 2nd Extension, which may have made you question whether Clinic Deluxe Edition is a game or a second job, perhaps we should head off to the periphery, and explore those edge cases? That is what you can find in this latest offering.
You will encounter smoking in your clinic, you’ll take a helicopter ride, you’ll avoid ghosts and dog poop, and shrill fire truck sirens will brutalize your ears. Perhaps you will even comply with the new construction guidelines proposed by the mayor’s new team.
Should you grab a last-minute gift from the gift shop to cheer up a psychiatric patient? Above all, you should keep a close eye on the temps, and carefully monitor this new “air conditioning” system. We wouldn’t want anyone to have an accident, would we?
Clinic: Deluxe Edition 4th Extension 主題診所 擴充四
As a side note: Clinic Deluxe Edition - 2nd Extension and Clinic Deluxe Edition - 3rd Extension have been skipped by the designer because of lack of play testing during the lockdowns. They will be released later in 2021-2022.
So Clinic Deluxe Edition - 4th Extension will be the last expansion and will end the series.
Clinic: Deluxe Edition 5th Extension 主題診所 擴充五
Occasionally, I’ve heard it said that some players build their clinic nearly the same way every time, and that the construction part of the game lacks variety. So, in The Extension, I added Urban Design 1.0 to require different floor plans, and Underground Utility Work to reduce the available space and to resize and reconfigure your player boards however you want. Then, in the 3rd Extension, I added Urban Design 2.0.
But still… you have all become veterans of all of these obstacles, and now you need more!
So, I offer you new layouts for the ground floor, and a new series of double tiles, which should not only accelerate development of your clinic, but also allow you to play on these more difficult floors — plenty to get you out of your rut!
Clinic: Deluxe Edition COVID-19 Pandemic 主題診所 新冠擴充
This is a small expansion that contains few more components to make Clinic Deluxe Edition a cooperative game
Clinic: Deluxe Edition Campaign Book 主題診所 作戰手冊擴充
With nearly 50 expansions for Clinic: Deluxe Edition, the need for a way to ease players into that ponderous pool of possibilities has grown great. This Clinic: Deluxe Edition – Campaign Book provides 3 campaign modes to address all experience levels, and all of which are designed for 1 – 4 players:
- The Thematic Campaigns: Each of these campaigns facilitates learning the rules of the myriad expansions. The expansions are gathered into 5 main themes, and each theme is a separate campaign. Each scenario of a campaign introduces the expansions gradually (but cumulatively), easing the learning curve.
- The Medium Campaign: 8 scenarios, each of which combines a cross-section of 5 expansions from the 5 themes defined in the Thematic Campaigns.
- The Expert Campaign: 5 scenarios, each of which combines 8-9 expansions to tell a story (actual story by Nathan Morse included).
