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.

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….

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?

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!

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!

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.

In this dice-based version of Pandemic, curing diseases that plague humanity comes down to a roll of the dice—literally! Pandemic: The Cure is a stand alone, dice-based version of classic cooperative Pandemic board game. Just like the original, you win or lose together as your team travels the globe treating diseases and keeping hot spots in check while researching cures. In this version, though, rolling dice determines everything from the outcome of your actions to the behavior of diseases. Each character has both a unique ability and a set of dice you roll at the start of each turn. Depending on the results, you can fly or sail between population centers, treat diseases in your region, collect samples for further study, or exchange information with other players. Try for the perfect turn by rerolling your unused dice, but each biohazard symbol that comes up brings you one step closer to the next epidemic. Play the odds as you re-roll your player dice, ward off outbreaks and epidemics, and search for cures. No matter what you roll, the fate of the world is in your hands!

This expansion adds two thrilling challenges to the dice-based Pandemic: The Cure. You’ve traveled the world, collected disease samples, and researched cures. But new challenges are emerging. The Experimental Meds super-expansion builds on the Pandemic: The Cure dice-based game of curing diseases. Adapt to the escalating situation as a fifth purple disease with a unique set of dice behaves in unpredictable ways. Purple dice can lead to even more infections or modify your attempts to find a cure in strange—and sometimes beneficial—ways. Counter this threat with one of the eight new roles, including the Celebrity Activist, Archivist, and Field Director. Each role brings its own game altering abilities and dice to the table, offering even more varied approaches to your disease-fighting efforts. Combined with the eleven new event cards, Experimental Meds provides tools to handle any threat.  If you’re looking for even more of a challenge, try the Hot Zones Challenge. Rather than representing a new disease, the eleven Hot Zone dice represent different effects—positive and negative—that existing diseases have on that region. Some results might let you move a hot zone or infection die from your current region to an adjacent one. Others might force you to spend extra dice to travel to a region, or draw an additional infection die from the bag during an outbreak. No matter what dice are present, each hot zone offers a unique challenge to you and your team.  This product is an expansion: Pandemic: The Cure base game required to play.
