Summary: “A fast-paced card flipping game, which involves players competing with each other to obtain a key to escape from the circus run by a horrible owner. Each player receives a unique character at the start of the game, which needs to be hidden until you wish to use the character’s abilities. You will need to identify turned-over cards and use them wisely to process the game, read more cards, obstruct others etc., and eventually be the first to escape the circus by using the key. The game contains different character abilities, varieties of action cards, and random game-changing events.”
