Description

Combine clever deck building with the domino principle to create spectacular card chains and make every performance a highlight! You manage a traveling circus that tours European cities, hiring performers and tailoring each show to a city’s specific tastes and requirements. Across a series of rounds players select the next city, recruit a new artist into a growing deck, tell the audience what to expect, and then stage the performance by playing cards domino-style to form chains. Scoring rewards meeting the city’s goals, creating long color-matched links, and leveraging individual artists’ abilities, so timing and card order become tactical as your deck evolves. The highest total score wins. The game supports 1–6 players and includes solo and advanced variants.
