At four players and two players, return the 9 / 10 card to the box. Not a lot! Give each player a Scout & Show token:Īt three players, return all 10s to the box. Will you be able to make it big under the big top? Contents You’ll have to coopt some clowns, take some trampoliners, and steal some singers if you want to have the ultimate performance. So what do you do? Raise wages and offer better benefits to attract workers to your circus? Of course not! You go around to other circuses and try to poach. Unfortunately, this is kind of a zero-sum game, as there aren’t that many performers who aren’t already affiliated with a circus of some kind. In Scout, players take on the role of rival circus managers, locked in a bitter struggle to make the best group of performers possible. Either way, I’ve been meaning to get to Scout in a number of forms when I got the first version of the game, and then Oink made their own version, and, suffice it to say, I ended up with both! So now I’m covering the Oink version, instead. Hey hey, haven’t seen an Oink review come across my desk since Durian! Moon Adventure is very hard, granted, and Insider Black is a bit tough to play since I was still fairly locked down when I wrote this, but I’m making progress.
