Dice Hospital Review - with Tom Vasel

[@BrutalBarracuda]

"Patients are asked not to die in the corridors, thank you"

[@steelman774]

Yes. We don’t want them… Rolling … over in their graves (or the morgue in this case).

[@TheOnlyTata]

Theme hospital forever

[@boredgameslab]

"Attention! Don't feed the ghosts, they're dead. Thank you!"

[@godofzombi]

Getting more points by having a few patients stay in the hospital a while longer... That's actually kinda realistic.

[@trenthogan4212]

It is in privatized healthcare systems where $$ is the main focus.

[@steelman774]

I just got the new game Oceans (from the creators of Evolution) and love it. It’s a great light-medium weight game with a nautical and almost fantasy looking theme, so my boxes are super checked. My wife is a nurse so this will not only fit her like a surgical glove but it seems to be about the same weight so now I’ve got Dice Hospital on my short list for games to buy. Thanks again, Tom! 👍👍

[@Headbangerr-en2cc]

This game is truly chilling, specially if you're older and know all these spaces from experience

[@jhatfield1985]

During the unboxing, I was afraid the round marker disk just sat on the board and it seems that it unfortunately does. However, the game looks great. Looking forward to trying this one out.

[@kuremalone78]

I see what you mean. It should've been a dial.

[@alrith72]

Fairly easy to fix though I would think 🙂

[@narvuntien]

I like the look of this and the difficulty of the game. I like games that are easy to teach but get deep once you are rolling. Except that I have spent too much time visiting a hospital recently....

[@ericmats4662]

is there any player interaction at all?

[@fuzzzy88]

Other than denial, no.

[@81pariahsg]

my biggest gripe with the game, and unfortunately its a pretty big deal for me.. like Tom said every does there stuff at the same time and its fun and exciting but you kinda forget other people are there and your pretty much just doing your own thing.. Its a really solid game though and its so frustrating

[@trenthogan4212]

I love this game and think it's very underrated on BGG.

[@DarthNVious]

On box art is Dr. Jennifer Yap Antony.

[@PossumMedic]

This just got added to board game arena! Thanks for the review/rules!

[@meeplefanatic9266]

That is exactly why I am watching this

[@jonkilner8816]

Played this at UKGE and really liked it. The problem is, like others have asked, there's no player interaction. You just do your own thing. As Tom said, it's best if everyone does the turn simultaneously. However, theres a good chance players will make mistakes which will give them an advantage or disadvantage. Everyone would need to have played a couple of turns/games first to ensure they know the rules. Which won't work well if your gaming group consists of many. Really wanted to buy this and went into the demo game with the expectation I would. However seeing how it played and knowing how our gaming group works, I knew it wouldn't work for us.

[@TheDiceMatrix]

Why is there an ad for Dice Tower West on March 6-10 2018? That date has passed.

[@thomnewton9024]

I tried this at UKBGE and it was pretty good. Nice and puzzley but not too complex and it seemed to have a decent amount of customisation for each playthrough.

[@silverfang6668]

Mike Nudd, designer of Waggle Dance, another excellent dice game.

[@BlimpMcGee]

I wanted that game but the price tag was ridiculous

[@michellecompton1755]

I love waggle dance

[@stevepruneau6561]

Interesting and unique. I like dice games like this. Sold! Now if I can only save up some more money. Great review as always Tom. I'll be getting my hands on Blueprints soon enough. I've been waiting eons to get it. So hard to find (in english) at a decent price.

[@LeeroyPorkins]

Can't find it anywhere in the US. How long will it be available to US Customers?

[@TheStarletStitcher]

CoolStuffInc currently has it in stock

[@LeeroyPorkins]

@@TheStarletStitcher Ended up grabbing it on Miniature Market

[@pawjack]

You had me at solitaire play.

[@supercommando440]

Pandemic The Cure (inthink thats what its called)... how does it compare in general in terms of complexity, choices, strategy, family-friendly...? Both look neeto. The Cure looks just slightly nicer because it has custom dice but it may be too complicated for family-time. I dunno...

[@godofzombi]

Aaaawww no custom dice.

[@sharynation-mustnotcontain5488]

Nice review. Thanks.

[@PuertoGeekan]

I hope none of the patients...die.

[@Monkeyb00y]

I'm surprised Tom didn't say this at some point ;P

[@FreakinFred08]

Bravo

[@xshadowscreamx]

"Lemme just skip the random event cards", why?

[@CD-zd6zr]

Where would one buy this game?

[@kaliban2747]

Not sure, but two can wait for the retail release

[@fuzzzy88]

Any game store will be able to order this for you.

[@EverEverOn]

You should find it in stores early next month, backers should get theirs in about 3 weeks.

[@TinkaTatjanka]

This game reminds me of Roll player.

[@blackjack2150]

Seems kinda misleading to put "Dice" in the name of the game, since dice are used mostly as value trackers, similar to Teotihuacan. Pass for now.

[@marcopaladino3305]

nurses became patients...

[@lordoftheflings]

looks like there is zero interactivity with other players so in essence this is a fancy solitaire game.

[@NowUndefined]

I'm glad it's a good game but I wish it had been awful just so he could say "Dice Tower judgment: Dead On Arrival"

[@nathanaelrobinson4831]

Too bad that in the real world, more people are leaving the hospital before "6."
