About the game
Next to the temple, where you and your team of physicians are striving to heal the sick and treat the wounded, lies the Agora. This main gathering place is filled with activity, commerce, politics, and people from every level of society. Navigate this central hub to find help for your new medical practice. Become the worthy successor to Hippocrates at the Agora! In this expansion to Hippocrates, you will find 4 modules that can be added to the base game. You can choose to play with 1 or more of these modules in any combination. Module 1: The Leaders Earn extra VP by matching doctors and patients from the same region in the coring phase. Module 2: The Nurses You can now hire Nurses that will be assigned to your doctors, aiding them to heal patients in more efficient ways. Module 3: Benefactors and Nobles You can now seek the aid of Benefactors and Nobles. benefactors will offer you permanent advantages throughout the game, whereas Nobles will help you gain more VP at the end of the game. But both of these will come at a cost … Module 4: The Events If you really wanna shake up your game of Hippocrates, dare introduce the events to the game. The more proactive gamers will be rewarded, but beware of the calamities that will plague your adventure in Ancient Greece. -description from publisher

Questions and answers
Hippocrates: Agora supports 1–4 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 Hippocrates: Agora is 90–120 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 Hippocrates: Agora for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Hippocrates: Agora belongs to these categories: Ancient, Medical, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Income, Tile Placement, and Solo / Solitaire Game. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Hippocrates: Agora are: Alain Orban. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.
