Dice Hospital

Finally got to play face to face after lots of online play, love it

This was more fun than I had expected from watching a play through. Mostly a multi-player solitaire but we all enjoyed the puzzle anyway.

It became apparent that if you get too many tiles rather than cards for improvements during the early stages of the game you are likely to struggle. It was also apparent in our game quite early who was going to win, and she just extended her lead on every turn, ending the game with only three patients still in the wards and they were 5, 6 and 6!

It seemed she'd done a perfect job, which is a bit off-putting from playing again as it's unlikely that she could play the game any better.

Easy to play game, goes on a little too long. It's better when players take their turns at the same time otherwise there can be too much downtime between turns.

Cool theme and some nice drafting mechanics, but the dice manipulation puzzle is a bit too easily solvable and repetitive to hold interest. It's mildly disturbing that the best way to play is to not completely heal patients, but to keep them sick enough so you can release multiple patients in one go for combo points.

A fine, cute little game.

I enjoy the mechanics of the game, but this is multiplayer solitaire. There have been a few games where I wonder how people were able to do their combos.

Simpler rules than first thought, but thoughtful gameplay afterwards, could do with a better turn recorder, and ambulances needed to be white, but enjoyed

gets dull and repetitive after a few plays, and the odd poor component gets very annoying too
