Play a card. Steal the show.

Welcome to Carnaruse, a beautifully illustrated family card game where colourful carnival performers, clever choices and three-card patterns take centre stage.

Join the Fox Musicians, Rabbit Acrobats, Owl Magicians and Bear Drummers in a game of strategy and opportunity for 2–4 players aged 8 and above.

Every card has two lives.

First, play a card from your hand to compete in a trick. Win, and you can keep your played card or swap it with one opponent’s played card.

Then everyone collects their resulting card into their own parade—even players who didn’t win the trick.

Will you play your strongest card, or choose the performer your parade needs?

Build your parade. Claim the applause.

Combine three parade cards to match an available Goal. Look for consecutive numbers, matching ranks, performers from the same troupe and other scoring patterns.

Spend your trio to claim the Goal and its points, bank any three cards for one point, or hold your cards for a future opportunity. With a changing Goal market, timing matters as much as the cards you collect.

After three rounds, the player with the most points wins.
