Description

Introduction Video: Link The goal of the game is to score the most points by building the best Circus Acts around! It's a balancing act to build a large and exciting act while avoiding ending the game with too many cards in your hand.

The game is simple. 1. Play a card. 2. Take all the cards from the center either with a higher or lower value than the played cards. 3. Add those cards to your Circus Acts and your hand.

How to play video: Link

All the art is from pre-1900 carnival posters which inspired the theme and the game really exists simply for the joy of design. I very much appreciate you purchasing - please rate it on boardgamegeek.com.
