Medicine in Imperial Rome is an art of celebrated progress, an art of showmanship and bitter rivalry. There is one doctor above all others: Galenus. Influenced by the theory of humorism—the idea that all disease is caused by an imbalance of four fluids: black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood—the writings of this second-century Greco-Roman period dominated and influenced Western medical science for more than 1300 years and nobody dared to challenge him. Will you?
Galenus is a worker placement game where you plan to take up to 6 actions and then decide when and how to take them. Therefore, some players can still plan their actions while you are already executing them. You can choose to recruit and treat patients—acquire knowledge in one of four juices—publish works based on that knowledge, acquire herbs to aid your work, rejuvenate yourself in the baths, or embrace a new philosophy. At the end of the year, you'll compete in medical competitions, using your focus and knowledge to make a name for yourself. If you publish enough notable works, or otherwise have the greatest impact on Galenus, you will earn his respect and enter his sanctum.
