Game description from the publisher In Circus Grandioso, players combine forces to create an unbelievably "pyramid of acrobatic animals". Whoever plays the topmost card on the pyramid gets the Show Master token – but only so long as no other player can play a card higher up the pyramid. Whoever holds the Show Master token at the end of the game wins. The cards can also be used to play a solitaire game.
