Overview

In Scout, players are circus managers looking to put on the best show! Instead of traditionally drawing cards, you must cleverly 'scout' performers from the central display, adding them to your existing lineup. The catch? You cannot rearrange the cards in your hand.

Clever hand management and strategic set collection are key to success. Outmaneuver your opponents by building powerful combinations and putting on a dazzling performance that earns you the most victory points. Playing Scout is about making the most of what you're given and seizing opportunities when they arise, all while trying to predict what your rivals are planning next.
