Read the full game description

Flip Circus is a brisk two-player deduction and memory game built around a cast of double-sided performer tokens. Each turn, you move or flip performers and use their powers to manipulate the line, trying to assemble three copies of the same artist. Completing a trio earns its poster, but every flip also reveals information and opportunities to your rival. The first player to collect three of the five performer portraits—or all five clown posters—wins, turning a tiny ruleset into a lively duel of recall, timing, and tactical misdirection.
