Topito (2017)

About this game

In Topito, players manipulate the circus animals and workers — represented by giant wooden blocks — to complete objective cards in their hand. The game includes a number of circus rings in which activities take place, and on a turn a player adds a block to a stack or moves part of a stack onto another stack. If any player, whether active or not, has one of their objective cards met by this move, then they reveal it and draw a new card. If a player drops a block, they must discard a previously met card as a penalty. The first player to have seven cards in front of themself wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 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.
