Press release:
WARSAW, POLAND — February 4, 2021.
The video games publisher Klabater and the Poland-based indie games developer Juggler Games, are today very happy and proud to announce that their circus-themed tycoon/Deck-building card game “The Amazing American Circus” is coming to PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch on May 20th, 2021.

Furthermore! As part of the reveal, Klabater released a new gameplay trailer, showing the game’s in-depth deck-building mechanics, incredible hand-drawn environments, interactive audiences, and much more.

Additionally, a PC game demo is now exclusively available at the Steam Game Festival (Feb 3 – Feb 9). Take a short glimpse into the main gameplay pillars, including card duels between your artists and bored audience, an exploration of the small part of the first region in the game, and manage selected circus wagons in your camp.

The Amazing American Circus relives the great days of 19th-century American circuses where players can build their circus empire, manage it and perform however they choose. It explores the behind-the-scenes organization of circuses, the bizarre folklore, brutal crimes, and social inequality of 19th century American entertainment.

This unique experience delivers the story of a struggle between a newcomer and an industry giant – P.T. Barnum. Like Slay the Spire, The Amazing American Circus brings a fresh approach to the deck-building genre. Players can use collectible cards to perform incredible circus stunts and wow their audiences. The game has a non-brutal approach to reliving the performances of American circuses.
