Galenus

DESCRIPTION

Medicine in Imperial Rome is an art of celebrated progress, an art of spectacle and bitter rivalry. There is one doctor above all others: Galen. Influenced by the theory of humorism, the idea that all ailments were caused by an imbalance of four fluids: black bile, yellow bile, phlegm and blood, the writings of this second-century Greco-Roman dominated and influenced Western medical science for more than 1,300 years and no one has dared to challenge him.

Galenus is a worker placement game where you plan to perform up to 6 actions and then decide when and how to resolve them. Therefore, some players can still plan their actions while you are already resolving them. You can choose to recruit and treat patients - gain knowledge in one of four moods - publish works based on that knowledge, acquire herbs to aid your work, rejuvenate in the baths, or adopt a new philosophy. At the end of the year you compete in medical contests spending your focus and knowledge to gain reputation. If you publish enough notable works or otherwise have the greatest impact on Galen, you will earn his respect and enter his inner sanctum.
