Tightrope 2027

Welcome to the circus ring! In Tightrope, each player is a tightrope performer trying to place their animals in the spotlight. But only the animals balanced at the two ends of each rope will earn applause. Play your animals onto your own rope or sneak them into your rivals’ ropes, push opponents into the middle, and try to predict how many of your animals will score before the act begins.

Tightrope is played over three quick rounds. Each round, players draw 5 Animal Cards, secretly choose a Prediction Card, and take turns placing animals onto any rope. Animals are arranged by size, but special Rat and Cat effects can change their position. When all ropes are full, only the two end cards of each rope score for their owners, with a bonus for animals scoring on their own rope. Players also score if their prediction matches how many of their animals scored. After three rounds, the highest score wins.
