Doctor Wars The Hospital Strategy Board Game
Doctor Wars The Hospital Strategy Board Game

Doctor Wars® Board Game is a game of strategy – like chess – but also involves chance. The game can be played with two to four players, ages 10 and up.

No medical knowledge is needed to play Doctor Wars® (though if you've ever worked in a hospital, you'll enjoy the inside jokes!)

How to Play:

  • The object of Doctor Wars® Board Game is to collect the most points. You collect points by successfully "treating"
    sick patients in a hospital and winning their cards.
  • You treat patients by moving your game pieces – a team of 3 doctors and a nurse – to control patient rooms. Like chess, the pieces move in different ways and have different ranks.
  • All patients on the board have cards that show their medical problems. Harder problems give you
    more points.
  • To collect points, you must have the highest-ranked doctor in a patient room. You then remove the top problem card and win the points on the card.
  • If two doctors of equal rank meet head-to-head, roll dice to see who wins the Doctor War!
  • After all a patient's problems have been treated, you can "discharge" the patient from the hospital by removing the patient card from the board, collecting more points.
  • The game ends when all patients have been discharged.

Like other board games, Doctor Wars® involves random cards and dice rolls that create unexpected situations. How will you respond to the twists and turns of chance?
