We are bringing an exciting circus to town. We work together as a team to give the audience the best show we can. This game was inspired by the world famous Cirque du Soleil that features magnificent, daring performances as well as wonderful humor and clown skills. Animals are included in this game, but since it is your circus, you can put on your own show with or without them. Each player spins to see what moves are to be made. Maybe you move the acrobat along the spotlight spaces or maybe danger looms on the trapeze and a safety net is needed. Can we guide the performers from start to finish without taking a fall? The risks are great, the moves tricky but the results are very satisfying. Includes: 4 boards, each 6 x 12", illustrating special circus performances, set of cards depicting safety nets, clown acts, animal acts, and main performers, ringmaster"s spinner, and rules for regular and hard games.Play as friends, not as enemies! Family Pastimes games foster the spirit of cooperation. Players help each other climb a mountain, make a community, complete a space exploration... They never play against each other. After all, the initial impulse to play a game is social; that is, we bring out a game because we want to do something together. How ironic then that in most games, we spend all our efforts trying to bankrupt someone, destroy their armies - in other words, to get rid of one another!At Family Pastimes we believe that people of different ages and abilities should be able to play side by side, each making their best contribution. We are all there when we finish the game to take joy in our successes and wonder how we might work together even better the next time we play. Thus, Family Pastimes games will prove to be a friendly form of fun. Socialization, entertainment, academic learning, character growth, etc. - whatever your objectives, we invite you to realize them by cooperative means.
