The circus is a nasty business. There are people to pay, animals to take care of, messes to clean, accidents to fix... and that's before you've even put on the show!

9-Card Circus is an in-hand resource management game for 1 player. Over the course of 4 years, you will work to make the best circus you can by rotating, flipping, and re-arranging cards. If you're careless, however, you'll be forced to start over from scratch, as your reckless management draws public ire and government regulations.

Every decision has consequences, and you'll need to think multiple turns ahead to ensure success. With deep, interesting mechanics, a lack of reliance on memory, and a small footprint, 9-Card Circus is a game you can take and play anywhere.

9-Card Circus also has a series of campaign challenges, which each modify a rule of the game and force you to change your strategy in order to succeed.
