Every circus needs various artists, and every artist needs a place to sleep, a place to hone their skills, and a place to sit down and have a lovely meal after a long day of hard work. So, if every circus needs a variety of artists, every circus caravan needs various circus carts. And there are 11 different wagons in the game, each with its function.
Let’s see what kind of wagons you may develop and upgrade while expanding your circus camp:
- Ringmaster's Quarters - one the main carts where you can use fame points to get money, money to get fame points - and to stop Barnum’s progress;
- Backstage - here you can buy perks and finishers for the show; each perk offers a different buff for the artists, and each finisher is a decisive move to be used during the show to either help your artists - or impress the audience;
- Training Ground - here you can train your artists; they can get new cards or upgrade the ones they already have;
- Sweet Jimmy's Treats - an info cart; lets you discover unknown parts of the map, locations, resources, and types of the audience awaiting you there;
- Recruitment Cart - lets you recruit new artists; shows you a list of those available in the given location, their skills, perks, and the wage expectations;
- VooDoo Emporium - allows you to remove quirks from artists and lock those you don’t wish to lose - even copy them onto other artists;
- Cookhouse - here you can cook food which you’ll later use to feed your artists while moving across the map;
- Sideshow Freaks - recruiting freaks; this side freakshow lets you accumulate additional money;
- Carpentry - buying resources to upgrade other carts;
- Artists - the place where your artists live; here, you can modify their decks (the cards they bring to the show), as well as fire them;
- Grandma Betty's Potions - removing negative cards which the artists get during events or when malnourished, etc.
Of course, you won’t start the game with all of the carts above. Apart from the basic ones, you’ll have to build the rest - and then upgrade all of them if you want your circus to reach its full potential. So, in The Amazing American Circus, you have to choose the right tactics for your performers and spend some time adjusting your camp, which adds a new layer of strategic planning.
