Hippocrates

Travel back to Greece in 370 BCE on the island of Kos. Hippocrates has just passed away and that leads to a lot of doubt regarding the durability of his medical activities. As 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. Be the right successor of Hippocrates and increase your reputation, so that patients from all around the Mediterranean will come with the hope of receiving the best treatment ever.

About the game

What is Hippocrates

The game lasts four rounds, with each round divided into five phases:

1. Kalosorisma — Each player welcomes up to three patients in their hospital. You need to select your patients carefully as all patients need urgent help, and some may be easier to treat than others, but make sure to help the most in need or you will lose reputation as a doctor.

2. Pliromi — You have to remunerate your doctors or risk their departure.

La verdad es que no está mal, pero la preparación es un infierno y al jugarlo a 3 hay una IA que te va fastidiando, por lo que se nota que el juego está hecho para 4. No creo que lo vuelva a jugar, hay mejores opciones, pero sin duda lo mejor ha sido lo bien tematizado que está.
