Circus Flohcati
Grab acts from the flea circus or flip another card and risk a bust.
Who it's for
You are playing with kids as young as six and want a short, greedy card game that adults also enjoy. Best with four.
Not for you if…
You dislike luck-driven decisions or being stolen from. Busts and thefts are part of every game.
Vibe's take
Quick, tense and cheeky, with that one-more-card itch on every turn. Stealing and busts keep the table groaning and laughing.
About this game
A push-your-luck card game about a flea circus. There are ten kinds of acts in ten colors, worth from 0 to 7 points. On your turn you take a face-up card into your hand, or flip a new one from the deck onto the display and risk it. Flip a color that's already on the table and you bust: the card is discarded and you get nothing. Flip an action card and you have to do what it says, often stealing from an opponent. Three cards of the same value in hand can be played as a trio for a guaranteed ten points. Rated 6 and up, about fifteen minutes, and just greedy enough to keep both kids and adults grinning.
