3 Ring Circus

3 Ring Circus is a charming and engaging game that brings the excitement of the circus to your tabletop. As a circus director, you'll be traveling across the United States in the late 19th century, hiring performers and putting on dazzling shows to earn fame and ultimately capture the attention of P.T. Barnum himself.

The game's mechanics are clever and rewarding. You'll need to strategically manage your resources, building your circus troupe by hiring artists and then carefully planning your shows. Each artist card has unique abilities and the order you place them on your board can have a big impact on your scoring. I really enjoyed this aspect of the game, as it felt like a puzzle I was constantly trying to solve.

The game's theme is well-implemented, adding a delightful layer of immersion to the experience. While it's not completely perfect, the circus theme is strong enough to make the gameplay feel like you're actually running a traveling circus. The artwork and components are beautiful, adding to the overall ambiance of the game.

One of the things I particularly enjoyed about 3 Ring Circus is the strategic decision-making involved. Each turn presents you with a choice: hire a new artist or put on a performance. This constant choice keeps the game feeling fresh and exciting.

Overall, I highly recommend 3 Ring Circus to anyone who enjoys strategic card games with a touch of thematic flair. It's a delightful experience that I've found myself returning to time and time again.
