Circus Flohcati - Card Game

In Circus Flohcati, players collect acts from the flea circus to score points, with the game containing ten types (colors) of acts, valued from 0-7 points.

On a turn, a player can choose one of the face-up cards on the table and add it to their hand or flip the top card from the deck and add it to the cards on display. If an action card is flipped, the player must take that action, often stealing a card from an opponent, and then the turn ends. If a card of the same color as any face-up card is revealed, it is discarded and the turn ends with no gain. Otherwise, the same options apply: collect a face-up card or reveal a new card.

If a player has three cards of the same value in hand, they can play this trio on the table for a guaranteed 10 points. The game ends either when someone reveals they have all ten acts in hand or when the deck is exhausted. Players score only for the highest-valued act of each color, so duplicate colors should be avoided or used in trios. If all ten acts are collected, a 10-point "Gala Show" bonus is scored. Whoever has the highest score wins.
