Circus

The card game circus is a very funny game for 4 persons.

The things you´ll need:

•A pack of cards with 52 cards in it.

•Four players.

•A table

The goal of the game is that one person gets four cards of the same denomination for example four kings. Then that person does the sign. When the teammate sees the sign he/she hits the mound and says “Circus”. Then that team gets a point.

When all the pointcards ends the game is done.

(Pointcards= the cards 2-9)

1. The thing you will start with is to choose two teams with two or more persons in each team.

2. Each teams need to choose a sign, for example fold the cards.

3. Sit down at the table. You and your teammate should sit diagonally opposite to each other.

4. Then take out the queens, kings, jacks, ace and one joker or a two because you are just going to use them. The joker or the two is every card, for example if you have three kings and one joker you have circus.

Mix the cards and give four cards to each person except to the person next to the person handing out the cards. That is the person that is going to start the game, so give that person five cards.

5. The person with five cards starts with giving the person to the left one of the cards that he/she doesn’t need. For example if you have two kings, two queens and one ace, then you give away the ace because that’s the card that you need the least.

6. The person takes the card and then gives the person to left the card that he/she needs the least.

7. When someone gets four cards of the same denomination for example four kings he/she does the sign. When the teammate sees the sign he/she hits the mound and says, “Circus”. Then that team gets a point. But the other team can also hit the mound and say, “suspected circus”, if they think that the other team has circus. If the suspicion is right  they can take a pointcard. They can also hit the mound and say, “suspected sign” if they think that they know the other teams sign.

8. You will do like that until the pointcards ends.

9. Then count who has the most cards. The team with most cards has won the game.
