Good Concept - Execution Lacking
It's not a bad game. Great idea. This could be so great. The dialogue is monotonous, not any real strategy and the parameters of determining success seem arbitrary.
Not impressed
This game appeared in the list of strategy titles, but it seems much more driven by luck. Most of the patients die, even if you follow the instructions (which are limited). I played for ten minutes and quit in frustration.
Medieval Mayhem
nine out of ten plague doctors recommended dressing up like giant birds! wonderfully ambient little slice of the "good old days"
Super cool
Love the history related to this game. Love the pictures and background music.
God
It's a great game! I like it!
Hard but rewarding
Great game!
Great game
Lots of fun
Good Historical Game
This game is good! Plague does a good job at depicting the dark ages of some portside city before and during the Plague Times. As a physician, you are tasked with using what little knowledge you have of various ways to cure diseases. Not any one path (Prayer, Sorcery, Latriochemistry, and Surgery) can cure a disease, because despite what the Inquisition says, you can't always pray the rabies away. Variola, Syphilis, and Leprosy can kill your town before the plague even arrives. You can sponsor various city projects, but even your good efforts make the Inquisition think you're spreading devilish things like higher learning and public sewer systems. Never seen what happens if the Inquisition meter reaches a hundred percent, but I imagine it ends with a public execution.
It's fun! It's challenging! It's educational! It's like a good, older game from the 2000's where you died a lot, but enjoyed the challenge without much hand-holding and not too many dangers.

Amazing
A very fun game for strategists
Original concept
Beautiful art, simple play, different, interesting. So far all my patients have died except the hairy boy. Inquisition is hot on my trail!
