Funfair

About this board game

Funfair is a theme-park building game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Over six rounds, you create an exciting park of attractions, upgrades, and staff members while earning income and pursuing victory points.

Each round begins with a City Event that helps all players and may offer interesting decisions about how to benefit. During the Park step, players take three actions, one at a time around the table. You can build attractions, add upgrades, recruit staff, draw cards, take a private blueprint, or gain money from attractions already in your park.

Build your attractions into increasingly valuable combinations. Upgrades can help match the requirements of your secret blueprints, while staff members and powerful showcase attractions support different strategies. Building your showcase attraction also gives you a fourth action each round.

• Attractions: Develop a tableau of one to five attractions and improve their appeal.
• Blueprints: Pursue hidden goals and bonus requirements for additional points.
• Awards: Compete for the public goal selected for the game.
• Staff: Recruit helpful members who can contribute to your park and final score.

After the action phase, your park earns income from the stars on its built cards, with staff potentially adding more. You then manage your hand and reset the six-card market before the next round.

At the end of the game, points come from attraction icons, completed blueprint requirements, money, recruited staff, and the public Award. A standalone game in the Unfair universe, Funfair offers a lighter, faster, family-friendly introduction to modular theme-park building, while its goals, cards, strategies, and combinations provide plenty of challenge.
