Fiasco Play Mat/Cheat Sheet

Posted by Jason on January 29th, 2010 — in Fiasco

Playing this past Tuesday, I wished I had a little reference sheet to double as a die-organizing mat. So I made one! Two versions, one colorful and one easy on your printer.

Paging Dr. Playtest

Here are two surgical procedures, a pyloric valve enlargement and a selective vagotomy. The instructions are on individual sheets, and both use the same chart sheet (you’ll need two of MH01). I’d love to have some people try them out and tell me how long they took (in seconds from picking up the scissors to putting them down), and if the instructions were clear enough. You need scissors, sticky notes (which stand in for sutures, to close the cuts you make) and a sharp pencil for poking. Dr. Lattimore can explain it better than I can. Thanks! Give it a try!

Mark Leyner fans rejoice! I’ve decided to focus my efforts on the abdomen for Medical Hospital. Other cool sets of procedures will come later, but the abdomen is totally disgusting and offers a lot of variety. Here’s the list:

CLASS C

LYSIS OF ADHESIONS
TRADITIONAL OPEN APPENDECTOMY
PERITONEOVENOUS SHUNT
UMBILICAL HERNIORRHAPHY
GASTROSTOMY
INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR

CLASS B

ANTRECTOMY/VAGOTOMY; OR PEPTIC ULCER GASTRECTOMY/ VAGOTOMY
SPLENECTOMY (PARTIAL OR TOTAL)
ANTERIOR ADRENALECTOMY
PYLOROPLASTY/VAGOTOMY
SMALL BOWEL RESECTION
MECKEL’S DIVERTICULECTOMY

CLASS A

ADENOCARCINOMA GASTRECTOMY
HEPATECTOMY (PARTIAL OR TOTAL)
ORTHOTOPIC HEPATIC TRANSPLANT
BILLROTH 1 GASTRODUODENOSTOMY

So 16 Procedures, most of them in the gut, two with stuff going on in the neck as well. This is a really good way to focus my efforts, and the trauma cases will still be grisly whole body affairs. I’ll add a Class A dealing with the pancreas but I don’t have one yet.

Here’s the 54 cards you need to play, formatted 18-up for printing. I’m pretty excited to explore card printing, and it’s a fun project.
