Press release:
WARSAW – May 20, 2021.
The video games publisher Klabater and the Poland-based indie games developer Juggler Games, today announced with great delight and excitement that they have just launched the open beta for their circus-themed tycoon/Deck-building card game “The Amazing American Circus” (the open beta can be played via Steam, and the full version of the game will hit PC and consoles on August 12th this year).

The launch of The Amazing American Circus open beta tests is a part of Klabater’s Publisher Sale celebration on Valve’s platform, launching today and lasting until 27th May. Klabater’s games will be available for purchase at attractive prices. Please check Klabater’s Publisher Sale page for details.

The Amazing American Circus open beta tests will be carried out with the help of the official Steam Playtest mechanics. Players can now test the first of the four regions available in the game – the Wild West. Choose a different path on the map each time you play, solve region-specific quests and hire a different set of artists.

Perform, hire artists, and manage your circus camp. There will be one limit to your build though – you may reach no more than 21 Fame Stars (these stars help you progress through regions in the game and face the toughest opponents).

The Amazing American Circus is also already available for pre-order on GOG.com platform with a special deal. Ringmaster’s Edition containing, among others, country-folk OST and a set of digital extras, including a stunning cookbook and a lore book, is available for 19,99 $/euro.

ABOUT THE GAME

The Amazing American Circus tells a story of the most iconic entertainment in American history. The USA, during the Gilded Age, is a turbulent place. The new era is coming, and this is the last moment for the circus to flourish! Discover Weird America where history blends with a dash of magical realism and ethnic folklore. Meet Wendigo, Big Foot, and many more!

Your main task in the game is to give circus performances. You will face an often extremely bored audience. Deciding which artists you put on the show is crucial since each of them has their own unique cards.

Circus performance is a special card duel played between you and the audience. Their boredom or anger is your enemy, and your best weapons are brilliant performances and effective tricks performed by selected circus artists. Choose your cards wisely and try to skillfully identify the mood of the crowd.

The Amazing American Circus is a blend of a Slay the Spire-style card game with Tycoon and simulation mechanics, as well as thoughtful resource management. Manage not only your artists but the entire circus camp. How you expand your circus depends only on you!
