FroGames — Moments You'll Remember
You have your Clinic collection piled up in three different boxes. You've dreamed of building a second hospital next to the first one. Now you can have both, in one box.
To play, you must own Clinic Deluxe Edition. This box contains the Big Box organizer (5 empty trays) + the 911th expansion. Other Clinic expansions are not included: the trays are designed to accommodate them, but they must be purchased separately.
The launch edition is expected to be in Italian, but as it's a recent Kickstarter (April 2026), the final version will be confirmed upon receipt. If you prefer certainty before purchasing, please contact us.
What it's about
A massive expansion and the ultimate organizer, in one single box
This product is the fusion of two things that Clinic Deluxe Edition fans have been waiting for for years. On one hand, the Big Box organizer: five giant rigid plastic trays, transparent lids, a positioning guide for every component. From four stacked boxes to one single box. Setup in minutes, teardown in minutes.
On the other hand, the 911th Expansion, the most ambitious ever designed by Alban Viard. Build a second building next to the main clinic: new types of operating rooms, new doctors, new patients, new nurses. Here, matching the doctor's color to the patient's is no longer enough — you also need to match the color of the treatment room. Three dimensions of matching instead of two. The puzzle doubles.
It's a product designed for those who already know Clinic and want to take it to the next level, both in terms of gameplay experience and organized collection. It's not the entry point to Clinic Deluxe: it's the culmination.
The second building is not a variant: it's a new level of hospital puzzle that completely changes patient flow.
The secret of the 911th in one line
Five trays that transform a disorganized collection into a rapid setup system. German-made materials.
From the gameplay experience
Clinic Deluxe Big Box + 911th
Clinic is one of the best management games to play solo. The 911th amplifies the solo experience: the double building puzzle requires fine planning, and without the interference of other players, you can truly optimize every move. Still requires the base game to function.
FrogScore · FroGames editorial rating · based on official rules, author's statements and 911th module analysisWhat's really in the box
Four elements, two functions
Big Box container
The mother box. Generous dimensions to house the entire Clinic Deluxe collection — base game, separately purchased expansions, and the included 911th. Designed to stand upright on the shelf without pieces shifting.
5 rigid plastic trays
Giant trays with separate transparent lids. Each tray is labeled and houses specific components (base game, numbered expansions, special modules). Calibrated cavities also for sleeved cards.
Complete 911th expansion
The largest expansion ever designed for Clinic. Secondary board, new treatment rooms, new doctors and nurses, new patients, dedicated rulebook. The module that justifies the entire box.
Placement guidebook
Illustrated guide showing where every component goes, tray by tray. Declared by Alban Viard as an integral part of the product. Solves the problem of organizing 7 years of expansions.
Clinic Deluxe is not a game you finish. It layers. This box is the next level.
📜 REGOLAMENTO
A game with the 911th in five moments
What changes with the second building
Not the rules. The experience after adding the module.
Doubled setup
Pull out the 911th tray. Place the second board to the right of the main one. Shuffle the new doctors, new nurses, new treatment rooms. The table expands. Someone realizes they need more space. Someone looks around and says: "Alright, let's start."
First time thinking in three colors
In the base game, you matched the doctor's color to the patient's color. Now a red patient arrives in a yellow treatment room, and you realize you also need a doctor whose specialization matches the room. Three dimensions instead of two. Your brain clicks audibly.
The nurse who saves everything
The 911th introduces a new type of nurse: she covers color mismatches. When the patient is red, the room is yellow, and the doctor is blue, she is the difference between successful treatment and a logistical disaster. You realize she is the most valuable asset in your hospital. You also realize you've only hired one.
Flow between the two buildings
Mid-game, you manage two hospitals simultaneously. Patients arrive from both entrances, move between facilities, and some treatments are only done in the second building. Three-dimensional matching is everywhere. Whoever plans the flow between the two boards best wins. Those who treat the two buildings as separate lose.
Counting and silence
Points are counted. Rooms built, patients treated, objectives completed, efficiency bonuses. The winner almost always has a functioning second building. The loser left it empty, or wrong, or built it too late. Everything is put back into the Big Box trays. It's surprising how fast it is.
What the module adds
What changes compared to the base game
The 911th is not just a simple card addition. It redefines matching rules and introduces a second parallel flow. Four central changes.
In the base game, you matched doctor color — patient color. Now you also add the treatment room color. Three variables to synchronize; each treatment becomes a mini-puzzle. Building choices now weigh more than twice as much.
The second building has its own separate board. It is built with rules similar to the first but with distinct flows, its own entrances, and calibrated capacity. It functions as a satellite to the first hospital or as a specialized hospital — depending on how you build it.
A new staff member: the nurse who fills color mismatches. She costs money, must be managed, but transforms impossible treatments into possible ones. She quickly becomes the most contended resource of the round.
Traditional operating rooms are joined by new treatment rooms, each with a color. The color is binding: certain patients can only be treated in certain rooms, and only by compatible doctors. Building the wrong room is an expensive mistake.
Why it's worth the box
Six reasons that justify the purchase
The biggest expansion ever designed
Alban Viard describes it as the most ambitious module in seven years of development. Secondary board, new matching rules, new patient flows. It is not an optional module on the side: it is a redefinition of the Clinic system.
Five life-changing trays
Rigid plastic with transparent lids, labeled by expansion, calibrated for sleeved cards. They transform a messy collection into a quick-setup system. Anyone who owns three or more expansions immediately understands the value.
Space for 14 rulebooks
The compartments include dedicated spaces for all rulebooks of Clinic expansions. No more searching for a sheet, no more open PDFs on your phone. Everything physically in one place, organized, accessible.
Placement guidebook included
A dedicated guide showing, tray by tray, where every component of every expansion ever published goes. Solves the problem for those who no longer know where to put the pieces back after a long game.
Consolidated official errata
Alban Viard has announced a complete rules revision with all errata collected since 2019. A clean set of rules that clarifies ambiguities fans have been discussing for years. Digitally distributed with the box.
Modular construction
You can play with only the base game, add the 911th for a new experience, or combine with any other expansion you own. No module is mandatory. Everyone customizes their session based on the group and available time.
How it ends
You win with efficiency, you lose with waste
Clinic has no eliminations. It has treated patients and lost patients, money earned and money wasted. The one who best optimizes the hospital puzzle wins.
Victory
- Points accumulated by patients treated in the correct rooms, with the correct staff, at the right time.
- Bonuses for efficient hospitals: few waiting patients, well-utilized treatment rooms, positive balance sheet.
- With the 911th: additional bonuses if the second building is functional and well integrated with the first.
Penalties
- Patients accumulated in the waiting room generate increasing maluses each round. Those who don't clear them sink.
- Useless rooms or wrong hires waste money that doesn't come back. Financial management is strict.
- With the 911th: a poorly designed second building becomes a liability, subtracting staff from the first without generating points.
This box is for those who already loved Clinic Deluxe and want to take it to the next level. For those who have never played it, the entry point is the base game — this is the room at the top of the stairs.
Frequently asked questions
FAQ on Clinic Deluxe Big Box + 911th
Does this box contain the Clinic Deluxe Edition base game?
No. This is a combination of Big Box organizer + 911th expansion. To play, you need to own Clinic Deluxe Edition (the base game published in 2019) separately. The five included trays are designed to accommodate the base game + all Clinic Deluxe expansions, but they are delivered empty — only the 911th expansion is physically included.
Are the other expansions (1st, 2nd, 69th Blue, Pink, Covid, Biohazard) included?
No. Only the 911th is included. The other expansions must be purchased separately, but the Big Box trays have dedicated and calibrated spaces for each of them. Those who purchase this box and later other expansions can store them in the correct trays thanks to the included placement guide.
What language is the 911th expansion in?
The launch edition is expected to be in Italian, but since this is a recent Kickstarter from the small independent publisher AVStudioGames, the final version will be confirmed upon product receipt. The rulebook and cards are expected in Italian. If language is a decisive factor for purchase, please contact us before proceeding.
How does the 911th truly change the base game?
Three central changes. First: it introduces a second building to be built next to the main clinic, with a separate board. Second: patient-doctor matching becomes three-dimensional, because the color of the treatment room is added. Third: a new nurse who can fill color mismatches. Together, these elements double the tactical complexity of games.
Does it work solo?
Yes, excellently. Clinic Deluxe is one of the best management games to play solo: the experience is almost identical to multiplayer, the interaction between players is already indirect. The 911th works perfectly solo and amplifies the puzzle of the double building. It always requires the base game.
Is it suitable for those who have never played Clinic?
No. This box assumes you are already proficient in Clinic Deluxe Edition. The 911th adds complexity on top of an already challenging system. If you are not familiar with Clinic, start with the base game, play a few rounds, then come back here when you feel the puzzle becomes familiar. Even Alban Viard, in his official messages, describes it as a module for experienced players.
Clinic Deluxe: The Big Box + 911th Expansion is the product that combines the Big Box organizer with the 911th expansion, the most ambitious module ever designed by Alban Viard for his Clinic Deluxe series. For 1-4 players, ages 14+, duration 60-180 minutes. The box contains five giant rigid plastic trays with transparent lids — calibrated to house the base game and all expansions ever published — plus the complete 911th expansion. Important: The Clinic Deluxe Edition base game is not included and must be purchased separately. The 911th introduces a second building with a dedicated board, colored treatment rooms, new doctors and nurses, and a new three-dimensional patient-doctor-room matching system.
