To conclude the Clinic: Deluxe Edition series, I wanted to focus on the disposal and recycling of all the refuse produced when patients are treated. This final, lone expansion is compatible with all expansions, because it merely depends on having nurses and orderlies, which are part of the base game! If you can include Janitors from The Extension, you can experience my full vision. I know the janitors already have a lot of challenging work, but as CEO of my own game, I am now adding a new role to their job description: They must tend to biohazards!

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).

In Hippocrates, you travel back to Greece in 371 BCE on the island of Kos. Hippocrates is growing old, and knows he cannot continue his medical practice forever. Hoping to be one of his successors, you lead a team of doctors with the goal of perpetuating the treatment of patients in the temple of Asclepios, later known as the first hospital in history. To be a worthy successor to Hippocrates, you’ll need to work efficiently and increase your reputation, so that patients from all around the Mediterranean will come to you with the hope of receiving the best treatment ever. Hippocrates combines tactical positioning, tile placement, resource management, and more to create an exciting mix that will challenge each player to best manage their patients and try to become Hippocrates’ worthy successor.

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 – 3rd Extension adds 12 expansions and 3 related variants to Clinic: Deluxe Edition, including the following: Cigarettes Helicopters Fire Trucks Wheelchairs Public Toilets Temp Agency Triage Ghosts Therapy Dogs Gift Shop Air Conditioners Urban Design 2.0 Variant 2: Easing the Stress Variant 2a: Tough Doctors Variant 2b: Clever Doctors Variant 2c: Humble Doctors From the game introductionAfter 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 – 2nd Extension adds 13 expansions and 1 variant to Clinic: Deluxe Edition, including the following: Stretcher Bearers New Appointments Round VII New Special Modules Pediatrics Coffeemaker CEO Events Medical Scanner Morgue Beds Surgeon Secretaries Variant 1: Greater Demand From the game introductionJust 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….

You will compete to collect a kaleidoscope of butterflies in the hope of being visited by The White Butterfly; the soul of a lost loved one. Legend of the White ButterflyMany years ago an apprentice merchant named Takahama fell hopelessly in love with a woman named Akiko. They became engaged, but, tragically, Akiko died before they could be wed.Takahama was distraught. He had built a life and a successful career, but he could not bear to be away from his love. Such was his dedication to Akiko that he abandoned his trade and gave his life to the upkeep of the cemetery where she was buried.For 50 years Takahama visited Akiko’s grave every day with a single pure white rose. One day, Takahama fell so ill he could not go outside. Fearing he may die, his sister and niece came to care for him. While he lay there, unable to move, a butterfly of the purest white landed gently on his pillow. Annoyed, Takahama’s niece tried to shoo the butterfly, but it would not stray from the pillow of the dying man.As Takahama’s final breath left his body, so the butterfly flew to the grave of Akiko and disappeared. White butterflies are believed to be the visiting souls of loved ones. Worried that Takahama had not visited her grave that day; Akiko looked over him and did not leave until his soul had joined hers. OverviewFluttering Souls is a 2 player game, made up of 3 - 5 rounds. In each round players take turns collecting butterflies to earn victory points, either in a set or by themselves. The player that collects the most victory points at the end of a round is awarded a White Butterfly Token; a visit from a lost loved one. The first player to collect 3 White Butterfly Tokens is the winner.
