Gothic Doctor: Demons & Partial Treatments Expansion is an expansion for Gothic Doctor released in 2015 for 2–4 players, 30–75 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Doug Levandowski and John McNeill and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Set Collection, and Action Points.
This two-part expansion for Gothic Doctor augments the game in two ways. First, it adds new patients to the game, with at least one new Legend in each patient class, additional copies of lower-value patients, and a new class of patients: demons. This class ranges from satanists and possessed children to legends like Dorian Gray. Second, the expansion adds a new way to play the game: partial treatments. Instead of only curing one patient per turn, doctors can now perform four treatments per turn. Once a patient is cured, the doctor who performed the majority of treatments (or the last treatment in the case of a tie) earns the profit for that patient.
Gothic Doctor: Demons & Partial Treatments Expansion supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Gothic Doctor: Demons & Partial Treatments Expansion is 30–75 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Gothic Doctor: Demons & Partial Treatments Expansion for ages 13 and up.
