Make 'n' Break: Circus (2014)

About this game

Make 'n' Break Circus continues the Make 'n' Break gaming tradition by pitting players against one another in building contests. In this version of the game, each round consists of head-to-head contests between two players. Each player takes one wooden tiger, one wooden panther, and five wooden blocks. Someone flips over one of the challenge cards, and each player races to build the depicted structure. Whoever finishes first grabs the animal feedbox from the table, and if he build correctly, he receives the points shown on the card. After a predetermined number of rounds, whoever has accumulated the most points wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
