The goal

Earn the most applause over three rounds.

How it plays

  1. 1Each round starts with everyone taking component tiles in turn, which give you acrobats, animals and props to work with.
  2. 2The companion app plays the music. When it starts, everyone builds at once in their own ring; when it stops, hands off.
  3. 3Scoring: the audience cards on the table show arrangements, and each one you built earns its applause. Blue acrobats score only with their feet on the ground, yellow ones only off the ground, and red ones score more the higher they stand, measured with the ruler.
  4. 4Round two adds guest stars with their own ways to score. In round three everyone performs alone, one at a time, and must also carry out a challenge card.

How you win

After three rounds, the most applause wins.

First time?

  • Install the app before you start. The music is half the game.
  • Decide which audience cards you are going for while you pick your pieces.
  • Build the steady parts first. If it falls, you start over.
