Victory Point Games Invites You to Visit ‘Healthy Heart Hospital’

Dec 13, 2015

Victory Point Games has a new Euro flavored game arriving and in it players will work together as a team to cure incoming hospital patients while also aiming to make the facility as prestigious and profitable as possible. Healthy Heart Hospital is for one to five players (ages 13 and up) and carries an MSRP of $49.99.

As a side note, is it just me or does the box look as if the image is straight off the cover of a 1970’s issue of TV Guide? Kind of cool. “Calling Doctor Welby!”

From VPG:

Welcome to Anytown, U.S.A. where people grumble about the quality of their health care but still show up at Healthy Heart Hospital hoping they made a smart decision. Much has been said (and even more has been written) about the previous administration’s haphazard management of Healthy Heart. In an effort to save the Hospital, you and your allies among its leading Physicians have staged a recent “Clinical Coup” and taken over the Hospital to restore its prestige. However, actually managing things from the inside is never as easy as it appears from the outside, and juggling the responsibilities at Healthy Heart Hospital can quickly turn even the noblest healer into a money-grubbing pragmatist cynically looking for a place to hide the victims of your “care.”

Does your team have what it takes to bring Healthy Heart Hospital back to its former glory without becoming Hard Hearted in the process?

Healthy Heart Hospital, from designers Scott and Anna Nelson, is a cooperative game for 1 to 5 players, played in rounds, with each player spending actions to treat and (hopefully) cure the various patients that come pouring into the hospital each round. Patients are represented by cubes of various colors. Color represents the type of illness, while the number of cubes represents the severity of the illness.

Note: This game is currently only available in the boxed version.

•   One 20-page, full-color Rulebook
•   One paper game board
•   Ten New Room cards
