“Clinic is highly recommended, assuming you can invest in multiple plays. The gameplay is fun and the late-game decisions can be really, really satisfying in their level of crunch.”

“I really liked Clinic Deluxe Edition! It’s a really meaty Euro and offers a refreshingly cynical look at our absurd for-profit healthcare system. Fans of Splotter games who appreciate really challenging puzzles will especially dig it, as it is quite a heavy game”

“Overall, I enjoyed my time with Clinic. It’s a unique puzzle of a game where players must adapt to what patients walk in the clinic.”
