Welcome to the Big Top!

Auctions with Bids that Matter

Win auctions. Then, in future auctions, bid specific amounts to make your previous cards score.

Come one, come all to Big Top! Hire the wildest and most wonderful acts to attract crowds of delighted spectators.

In this fast-paced auction game, you’ll be bidding on show-stopping acts for your Big Top to draw in the crowds. Beware - each winning bid will make your competition that much richer.

BUT WAIT - that’s not all! Even the attractions you’ve already won will affect bids in future auctions. For those attractions to score, you'll have to fill in all their circles. Do this by bidding specific amounts in future auctions.

To create the best circus, you'll have to keep a close eye on both your winnings and your opponents' bids!

Strategy

Don't Be a Clown!

Use All Of The Information At Hand To Predict Your Opponents’ Turns!
Keep an eye on what your opponents still need to complete. Also, consider cards up for auction that already have spots completed!

Leverage Your Turn As The Auctioneer!
Putting high-value cards out as the auctioneer can get you paid! Remember, auctions won by non-auctioneer players have their values paid to the auctioneer. Do you replenish your cash, or do you try to win the card yourself?

How To Play

1. Start Your Bidding!

The auctioneer chooses an act to auction (they get the money from the winning bid).

2. Place Coins On Cards

If a bid matches a number shown on the attraction, add a $1 coin.

3. As You Bid, Mark Your Previously Won Cards

Once all of the spaces on one of your attractions have been covered, complete it for points and special powers!

4. Tally 'Em Up!

Points come from completed attractions, clown cards, $5 coins behind your screen, and who has the most stars on completed attractions.
