Dreadful Circus

Players build a travelling spectacle by drafting and buying cards that represent performers, attractions and curiosities. Cards grant immediate effects during play and also define personal endgame scoring rules, so each player's scoring conditions evolve as they acquire new cards. Turn actions include acquiring cards, playing combinations for sets and activating card abilities to generate resources and chain effects. The game ends after a fixed number of rounds or when the supply depletes, then players tally points according to their individual final-scoring cards to determine who created the most successful circus.
