Medico

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.

In Medico, the new strategy game by award-winning designer Stefan Feld, 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 children to train at the bathhouse, or heal the city lord and gain his favor. You may even meet the famous Medicus himself and learn from him. In the end, it will become clear which of you truly has what it takes to become a Medicus!
