How to play Drum Roll

In Drum Roll, players hire performers, plan shows, and manage the money and publicity needed to keep their circus running. Turns involve drafting and placing workers to gather acts and resources, while competing for the best opportunities and meeting the demands of each performance. It feels like a medium-weight planning game with tight choices, suited to players who enjoy economic management and juggling several priorities over about 90 minutes.
