About the game
The game box itself is used as a 3D board, divided into four areas separated with ricocheting barriers and containing a big hole in the center. The players attempt to flick their fleas (chips) onto the board tiddlywinks-style, with the goal of having the most chips in each area, but without having them fall in the center hole. Players with good dexterity can attempt to use their chips to knock other player's chips out of an area and, preferably, into the hole. There are special chips that freeze out (or neutralize) an area, as well as other special chips that serve to neutralize the neutralizing chips.
Questions and answers
Flohzirkus supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Flohzirkus for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Flohzirkus has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Flohzirkus belongs to these categories: Children's Game and Action / Dexterity. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules. Filter the catalogue by the same category to find similar games when you enjoyed Flohzirkus and want something comparable for your next game night.
The credited designers of Flohzirkus are: Jim Winslow. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Flohzirkus as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
