- Our take
- Under the Big Top has fans, but it's hard to find and not essential. Skip it unless you spot it at a fair price.
- What it adds
- 20 tiles, circus and acrobat tiles, animal tokens and ringmaster meeples.
- What it fixes
- Adds circus clustering bonuses; little core fix.
- What you need first
