CIRCUS! is easy to play. Put on the best acts and become the new ringmaster. On your turn draw, take or steal one or more cards. If you have three or more cards of the same artist you may lay down an act. This earns you applause points. You may also choose to wait until you have more artists before you put your act on the table. Bigger acts will get you more applause. The player with the most applause wins the game and becomes the new ringmaster.
CIRCUS! is sold in a box with 110 playing cards. The game consists of 6 different types of artists, 4 jokers and 2 counting cards. The illustrations that bring the circus artists to life are made by Eric Snelleman. CIRCUS! can be played as a single short game or as a tournament of several games in a row.
