Actions and How to Play

Players perform acts using their acrobats and guest stars like Otto the tumbler and Luna the tightrope walker. Here are some key actions:

• The Tumbler: Place the jump board inside your ring and the tumbler on one end. Press the opposite end to throw the tumbler in the air. Catch him and place him immediately in the act (not on the ground). If dropped, try again. The jump board is not part of the performance and is removed after use.
• Advanced Rules: A beam must have at least one component under AND one element on it to count for the act. Players can only perform one act per performance; if multiple acts are present, only the best one scores points. Side-by-side acts that can be separated do not count as one single act.
