Animal Circus (fan expansion for Animal Upon Animal)

Players act as circus managers building animal acrobat pyramids by buying and placing animals on a shared structure. Each turn players acquire animals through market options, some costing money, some free or cheap, and then attempt to add their animals to the pyramid. Placed animals can trigger income or penalties depending on crowd preference, while unpopular animals reduce funds. Falls from the unstable pyramid can injure animals, creating additional treatment costs that affect a player’s finances. The game resolves placement skill, market choice, and risk management as players balance earning bonuses, avoiding penalties, and keeping their troupe intact.
