Barker’s Row is a 2-4 player game in which you are a carnival barker trying to fill your 3D chipboard seats with "rube" meeples by playing the most fantastic attractions.
You draft these barker cards from a community pool and play them into the midway. Then you use those cards to play one of fifty or so attractions that will amaze and delight the rube meeples in your seats while giving you a special power to use later in the game. Stay tuned for some drafts of these attractions, such as Lobster Boy, Goose-Necked Girl, and the Fiji Mermaid. Each time you play an attraction, you climb higher on the strongman tower, making the next one harder to play, serving as an elegant and thematic catch-up mechanism. The player to first fill all their seats wins!

I really want to like this game. The components are wonderful. They’re the best part of this game. The card play is broken though. It reminds me of a more robust Epic Spell Wars. A game I like that’s very swingy. Depending on what cards drop, you can feel like you’re on rails, and that there’s nothing you can do to progress.

Very fun, fairly light game. Although there are more strategy and tactics here than initially meets the eye. Speaking of eyes, it's beautiful! Although somewhat overproduced. For instance, the Rube meeples are fantastic, but effectively standard meeples would have worked exactly the same. And the strongman score tracker is enjoyably unnecessary. I don't mind overproduced Kickstarter games, which this is :) as long as they are fun and satisfying, which this is!
