It's a busy first day for you and your team at the new Unicorn Clinic. Like any good clinic, you not only want to give your patients (who are all unicorns, of course!) the best care, but you also need to get those positive reviews to grow your clinic's reputation. Unfortunately the supply closet is a mess and the line of waiting patients is growing by the minute. While you scramble to find the supplies you need, each waiting unicorn is wondering where their doctor is and rapidly losing their patience. Work together to quickly treat patients and get those sweet 5-star reviews!
In Unicorn Clinic, you'll work together to run your own clinic for sick and injured unicorns. On your turn, you'll decide which patient to visit and roll your dice to try to complete their treatment. If at first you don't succeed, you can try to roll again, but you'll have to be smart about which dice you reroll and where you spend your time. Do you go after a new patient who still has a rosy 5-star view of the clinic and hope to treat them fast, possibly earning more time to take on another patient? Or do you choose a patient who has been waiting a while and try to finally get them out the door? You'll also want to consider where your fellow doctors are- every doctor in the room will give you an additional specialty die to roll and increase your odds for success.
After your turn, any unicorns left unattended in other rooms will lower their potential star rating. If any unicorns reach zero stars, it's CODE U! You have one last shot to join forces as a team to treat the unicorn before they leave the clinic in disappointment, ruining your reputation (and ending the game.)
If you DO successfully treat a unicorn, of course they leave you a review to read! Score enough review stars and you'll secure your clinic's reputation as the best place for excellent unicorn care.
