What to Expect
Set in the neurological ward of the Coeurs Brisés Hospital, one player manages nursing staff treating patients, while the other controls the Traumatosaures creatures trying to absorb sleeping patients. Movement is determined by dice rolls, making planning challenging. The game unfolds in hourly turns over one night with interactions like waking patients and using tokens to hinder treatment.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed strictly for two players interested in thematic horror and medical settings. It is a medium complexity game requiring an understanding of dice rolling and roll/spin and move mechanics. No solo mode is available, and game duration is unspecified, so players should expect some unpredictability.
How It Works
Gameplay is driven by dice rolls that dictate movements of nurses and Traumatosaures. Each turn represents an hour during the night shift. Nurses administer treatments and move patients, while the Traumatosaures player uses special tokens to complicate care. The dice-based movement mechanics create dynamic and uncertain options each turn.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Franck Parcabe in 1996, Traumatosaures is an asymmetric two-player game combining horror and medical themes. It employs dice rolling and roll/spin and move mechanics in a tense duel between nursing staff and invading creatures.
