Enter the eerie world of Dreadful Circus, a bidding and bluffing party game where every secret offer could bring you closer to creating the most successful circus in town. As strange performers, curious attractions and mysterious characters arrive, you’ll need to judge your rivals carefully while building a collection that suits your hidden ambitions.
 
Each round, a new card goes up for sale. Players secretly prepare their bids before the seller decides which offer to reveal. Once a sealed bid has been opened, the seller must choose whether to accept it or move on, creating tense moments where timing, persuasion and calculated risk can make all the difference. A tempting offer might hide exactly what you need, while passing too quickly could leave a valuable prize in someone else’s hands.
 
The real twist comes from the unique scoring objectives found throughout the game. As you acquire cards, you discover contracts that shape your personal path to victory, encouraging you to collect particular sets or tokens while watching what your opponents are trying to achieve. Since each player develops their own scoring conditions during the game, every performance unfolds differently.
 
With secret bidding, social bluffing, set collection along with shifting objectives, Dreadful Circus delivers a wonderfully unpredictable party game experience for groups who enjoy clever decisions with a sinister carnival atmosphere.
 
The curtains are rising, the crowd is waiting and the circus is anything but ordinary. Can you outbid your rivals and become the master of the Dreadful Circus?
