And the theme, for once, is a departure from trading cities and Italian republics: we&#8217;re heading to medieval Europe, where trained physicians were a rare commodity.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">Barber, Healer, and Future Medicus?<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">In this 2\u20134 player game, each participant takes on the role of a traveling barber journeying through towns and villages to heal, learn, and build a reputation. The goal: accumulate enough knowledge and prestige to earn the coveted title of <strong>Medicus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Each round begins with the simultaneous, secret selection of one of 7 locations to travel to. On your turn, you reveal your destination to perform a main action there. Along the way, you can also take secondary actions at waypoints you pass through\u2026 provided you&#8217;ve planned your route carefully in advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">This is classic Feld design: tight time and resource management where every action matters. With only 8 or 9 rounds available depending on player count, every decision is critical. At final scoring, players tally points across multiple categories: recipe books, medical instruments, apprentices, and more.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\">A Feld Is a Feld<\/h4>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Stefan Feld, designer of <em>The Castles of Burgundy<\/em>, <em>Trajan<\/em>, and <em>Notre Dame<\/em>, reaffirms with Medico his commitment to historically-themed strategy games driven by tight mechanics and constant tension between available options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Artwork is handled by Dennis Lohausen, a longtime collaborator on many of the publisher&#8217;s titles, ensuring polished visual design throughout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Medico<\/strong> is shaping up to be one of the must-watch titles at Essen 2026.
