Medico *PRE-ORDER*

In medieval Europe, trained physicians were a rarity. Traveling barbers did their best to care for the health of the people, and more than one of them may have dreamed of one day attaining the knowledge and reputation of a learned Medicus.

In this game, you take on the role of such barbers, striving over the course of your journeys to acquire the knowledge needed to be worthy of the title of Medicus.
To do so, you travel from city to city and perform a wide variety of tasks:

Along the way, you gather rare remedies that you can sell at the markets.
You deliver letters on behalf of the Church, earning the goodwill of the clergy.
In monastic libraries, you search for healing recipes.
In the great cities, you can acquire medical instruments, send your apprentices to train at the bathhouse, or heal the city lord and gain his favor. You may even meet the famous Medicus himself and receive his instruction.

In the end, it will become clear which of you truly has what it takes to become a Medicus!

GAMEPLAY

In Medico, each round you simultaneously and secretly choose 1 of 7 locations to travel to.
On your turn, you reveal the chosen destination in order to perform a main action there at the end of your turn.
Along the way, you can perform secondary actions at waypoints you pass—if you’ve planned your route well in advance. Since you only have 8 or 9 rounds available, depending on the number of players, every turn is important.
In the final scoring, you tally up and compare the points you’ve earned in various categories, such as recipe books, instruments, apprentices, and more.
