Description

In Circus, you get to be the ringmaster of your own big top, sending your talented artists into the ring to wow the crowd and earn points. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all ages, and with a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can squeeze in a show or two even on the busiest of days. With 2 to 4 players, the competition is fierce, but the rules are simple, so you can focus on the fun. As you play through the 7 rounds, you'll use upgrade cards to give your artists a boost, adding cubes that represent talents, costumes, and more. The key to success is timing and strategy, as you decide when to send your artists into the ring to perform. The crowd loves variety, so if your artist has a unique set of upgrades, you'll score big, with mismatched cubes earning 2 points each. And with poster cards offering bonus points for specific types of artists each round, you'll need to stay on your toes to maximize your score. As the game comes to a close, you'll send your remaining artists out for a final bow, earning extra points for their upgraded talents. With its simple yet engaging gameplay, Circus is a great choice for families or casual gamers, and its 2019 release has brought a fresh twist to the world of card games and children's games.
