"There's an epidemic of Green Fingers, the hospital porters are demanding more mana, and the head nurse keeps turning into a cat. Just another day in the world's premier magical hospital."
Research ancient magical secrets, embark on quests for rare herbs, or balance the departmental budget - then head home to your magical commune to plan the next community celebration. Fae's Anatomy is a relatively co-operative megagame with strong elements of resource management, creativity, and communication.
You will effectively be part of two teams - your hospital department, and your home commune - with minimal overlap between the two. Work with your commune to ensure your department's needs are supplied - but make sure your contributions are recognised! While the communes generally get along well, there's plenty of room for friendly one-upmanship between them.
"Other than that, it should be quite a quiet, peaceful day. The Magical Research Department says something strange is happening with the leylines, but it's probably nothing to worry about..."
