About this board game

Dice Hospital is a worker placement game for 1–4 players with a 90-minute play time, in which you use hospital staff to treat patients and earn the highest reputation.

Players must treat as many patients as possible to appease the local authorities. In the game, dice represent the patients in your hospital, with low scores indicating low health. Their values provide a clear picture of the patients who require attention.

Each player manages a personal hospital player board featuring actions for treating patients. You will use your hospital staff through worker placement mechanics, assigning them to the work of running your hospital and caring for the patients represented by the dice.

Situations can also arise that call for a more focused response. Players may bring in specialist staff to react to these situations and score more points with the authorities, adding another way to pursue a strong result.

  • Worker placement for hospital staff
  • Dice used as patients, with low scores showing low health
  • Personal player boards with actions for treating patients
  • Specialist staff for reacting to situations and scoring more points

Dice Hospital combines staff placement, patient treatment, and hospital-board actions into a contest for reputation. The player with the highest reputation wins, so effective treatment and timely responses to situations are central to success.

Released in 2018, Dice Hospital offers a focused hospital-management theme through its combination of dice patients and worker placement. Whether you are treating low-health patients or calling in specialist staff, every part of the system supports the goal of impressing the local authorities.
