PLAYED FOR YOU

DOKTOR HRUBEC

Operation or Autopsy?

The hospital is about to be closed and is hard to tell who is crazier - the patients or the doctors who are supposed to heal them.

You have your own operating theatre and a team ability card with markings for surgery, psychiatry, stomatology and dermatology. The hospital with a waiting room and card placement areas is laid out in the middle. You play with doctor cards which you collect for your team; each card yields different values for the special abilities. Patient cards represent patients that you try to heal and you score money from insurance for healed patients. You start with one doctor card; the remaining doctor cards plus action cards are shuffled together and you draw three cards from this pile. Patient cards are arranged to form a waiting line, as stated in the rules.

If you have no patient in your theatre at the start of the turn, you draw a card or place a doctor into an office, after laying one off, if all offices are taken. Then you place a patient from the waiting line into the waiting room or from the waiting room into the theatre. If you have a patient on the table at the start of your turn, you must operate - team quality, difficulty of the operation and roll of a die decide the outcome. When the values on the patient card are topped by your team quality + dice roll, the patient is healed; if not, he dies. Action cards can be played any time. When the hospital is closed you score for healed patients minus dead patients.

The standard mechanisms of comparing cards and totaling values are enlivened by the funny texts, resulting all over in a witty satirical party game.
