  • Third Coast Review: “Overall, The Amazing American Circus deserves to be a classic. It’s a fresh spin on an idea that is getting tired, and I really appreciate not only its unusual theme, but its dedication to making the era of traveling circuses come to life through art and music.”
  • GameReviews: If you are ready to make the investment, The Amazing American Circus will give you a ton of bang for buck.

THE AMAZING AMERICAN CIRCUS Crowdfunding Campaign!

Dear friends!

We are happy to let you know that we have just launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for our fresh project, The Amazing American Circus. It has a special meaning for us, inasmuch as we are the originators of the whole idea to carry players into the world of circus from the Gilded Age of the USA.

  • You will find the Kickstarter campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/klabater/the-amazing-american-circus.
All of that in the eye-pleasing, hand drawn graphic design!

Add a game to your wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1433860/The_Amazing_American_Circus/



The Amazing American Circus is a single-player deck-building video game with resource management elements, tycoon, and exploration. If Slay the Spire! appealed to you, as well as other card games dedicated to single-player, we are sure you would love The Amazing American Circus. Hire artists, each with their own set of cards, and travel across the Gilded Age USA, meeting famous people, completing quests - and become the greatest showman on Earth!

We highly encourage you to support the game! :)

In The Amazing American Circus, you’ll build a circus empire from scratch. Flesh and blood opponents, as well as characters known from the American folklore, will stand in your way to success. You’ll come across violent crimes and social inequalities. As a novice owner of a small and run-down circus, you’ll have to face the historical giant of this industry - P.T. Barnum. Can you defeat him?



Deliver a perfect show in a special card duel between you and the audience. Their boredom is your enemy, and your performances and tricks are the best weapons. Choose your cards wisely and try to figure out the mood of the crowd. What’s attractive in the deep South won’t necessarily work in the industrialized North!

The Amazing American Circus Kickstarter campaign is supported by many new game-related materials, screens and artwork!

He will have to confront his own traumatic demons if he hopes to stand a chance of discovering the Zodiac’s identity and bringing him to justice.

This is the Zodiac Speaking offers two distinct gameplay modes. One that blends storytelling with stealth and action gameplay elements, while the second (Detective mode) puts emphasis on storytelling to let you fully immerse in the Zodiac investigation.
