Astrologaster (360G-Wellcome-204897_Z_16_Z)
Astrologaster is a humorous story game that models the career and medical practice of the historical figure Simon Forman, Elizabethan doctor, astrologer and alchemist. Players take the role of Forman, casting astrological charts to answer questions about sickness, cures and future fortunes. If patients are happy with the diagnosis and treatment, the player gains status, wealth and social advancement. If patients are dissatisfied, the player risks exposure as a charlatan or being sued for malpractice by the College of Physicians of London and his status declines. A multi-stranded narrative develops.
