Roll up, the big top is waiting! 3 Ring Circus is a strategic circus board game set in the United States during the late 19th century, where ambitious circus directors compete to build the most successful touring show. Hire talented performers, travel from town to town and then create spectacular performances capable of earning fame from increasingly demanding audiences.
 
Your circus begins with an empty company, so building the right troupe is your first challenge. Recruit clowns, jugglers, magicians, strongmen, wild beasts plus other remarkable acts, carefully considering how each performer works within your show. The order of your artists matters, making clever planning essential when assembling a performance.
 
Tour across the United States to entertain different audiences. Towns provide useful resources to help your circus grow, while smaller cities offer greater rewards plus opportunities to recruit more valuable performers. The biggest cities demand specific acts, yet successful shows can bring substantial fame.
 
There is another circus to watch closely. P.T. Barnum’s magnificent circus travels across the country throughout the game, triggering regional scoring when it reaches major cities. A strong presence in these areas can earn additional fame, rewarding directors who plan their touring schedule carefully.
 
With strategic hiring, route planning and performance management, 3 Ring Circus delivers a rich board game experience for players who enjoy competitive strategy wrapped in an entertaining historical theme. Build your troupe from humble beginnings, satisfy demanding crowds all while growing your reputation until your little circus becomes a major attraction.
