Treat or Cheat 2024

The animals are sick! But the hospital entrance is crowded with people. What’s the best way to ensure your pets see the doctor first? How can you ensure your little pets see the doctor first? It all depends on your clever maneuvering, and... Sometimes cut in line!

The main mindset of this game is a bit like "In Front of the Elevators". Players will take turns playing 1 hand card, which maybe a patient in different severity(critical to minor) or a patient's relative, to line up in front of the hospital at different levels. The patients must line up in the order of severity, however each player has limited chances to "Queue jump" with the card played face down. The queue length is limited, and while any card in the queue surpasses the limit will be immediately "downgrade referral" to a lower level hospital.

The triage card, which is also a component of player's hand and can also be played, will let a limited number of patients in the queue enter each hospital and get points. Each card entered the best hospital scores 3 points, and counts as 1 point while it ends up merely entering a local clinic. Triage will be administered in every hospital after the card is played, so it often helps other players to get points.

Players must make clever decisions on whether to TREAT (perform triage) or CHEAT (Queue jump)!
