You are one of the doctors that were just hired for the brand-new, cutting-edge Medical Center. Alongside your colleagues, you have to cooperate well, to admit, diagnose and treat various patients who need your help. Combine your strengths and treat efficiently the patients arriving at hospital, but be careful, because mistakes can be of the highest value in Rush MD! 'Rush M.D. is an innovative, real-time, cooperative board game that simulates the challenging and high-pressure nature of medical professions. A worker placement mechanism, using hourglasses as workers allows, but also limits, players to perform a multitude of actions. Each player handles 1 Doctor hourglass running around the hospital, admitting patients, providing immediate medical care, performing different kinds of exams as well as performing surgeries. Additionally, there are 4 more Nurse hourglasses, which can be used by all players. Nurses provide medicines to patients, supply all necessary drugs and equipment that you need to carry out all your exams and medical procedures. Any worker placed on an action space may not be used elsewhere before the sand within the hourglass runs out, making each decision important as time is limited. The game plays from 1-4 players and lasts for 4 rounds of 4 minutes each. That means you only have 16 minutes in total to treat various patients, overcome many difficulties and challenges and manage to cooperate efficiently with your teammates, combine your forces into helping as many of your patients. A highly thematic experience that is equally rewarding for gamers and families, filled with fun, challenges and sharp decision making! In Rush M.D. pressure is high as human lives are upon your hands! Can you handle the Rush, doctors?!

Maternity & Dental Clinics is a new mini expansion for Rush M.D. that introduces two new modules which expand the game's Outpatient clinic. In Maternity Clinic, you need to examine pregnant women to determine the gender of their baby(ies). In some cases the mother will have to be admitted in a Ward right away and have a surgery to give birth right away. In order to identify each baby's gender or to determine if the pregnant ladies need to go into labor, you will need to perform an Ultrasound, in the same fashion that you perform this in the Ultrasound section of the new Examinations Board, by using the special see-through red plastic chip to locate one or more gender symbols on the back of the top Maternity Diagnosis card. For each symbol you locate, you must place the corresponding tile(s) on the mother's card. If instead of finding gender symbols during the ultrasound, you locate a scalpel symbol, this means that the mother-to-be needs to give birth immediately to ensure the health of her baby. You will need to Hospitalize the mother to a Ward bed and take her to an Operating Room soon! In the Operating Room you will need to bring a Doctor and a Nurse to deliver the baby! In the Dental Clinic, you will get to admit Patients from the Outpatient Clinic who need to have their teeth checked up and cleaned. In order to perform a teeth cleanup, you will take the cubes and throw them like dice close by to the Dental Clinic board. Each cube(tooth) has one side that is colored black. Using your tweezers, you will need to place each tooth on the available slots of the Mouth tile but making sure that the black side of each tooth is facing down.

The game offers several mini games including dexterity challenges. + Theme (hospital, curing patients) + Artwork (rather cute, reminds of Smartphone games) + Components (colored wooden pieces, plastic tweezers) + Tense game due to real-time + Different objectives to fulfill + Many patients with different requirements and treatments. Some have to be diagnosed first (unknown illness) + Resource management (blood, bones, medicines) + Various mini games (including tweezers and syringe dexterity) + Quick playing time Neutrals: # Nearly language independent (location names) # Simple "draw the right token matching the icon" mini game # Simple "draw cards until you found a card that has not a certain text" mini game # Simple "fill syringe with wooden tokens" mini game # Tweezers dexterity mini game # Quite hard on medium difficulty (easy, medium, hard mode) Cons: - Using syringe and tweezers may be annoying over time Similar games: * Kitchen Rush (more deeper game, less party game, expansion available) * Project Elite (real-time re-rolling dice game to fight Aliens) * Escape: Curse of the Temple (real-time re-rolling dice game) * Magic Maze
