Let's start playing The Grand Carnival Plus On The Road Expansion Bundle! First, set up the core game and add the On The Road Expansion components. Decide who will be the players (it's for 1 to 4 people). Each turn, you'll cover a number on your player board. Think carefully about which number to use, as it will determine how well your action works. When placing foundation tiles, a higher covered number gives you more tile choices. Make sure to place tiles considering where attractions can be built and where guests can walk. When building attractions, the size you can choose depends on the number you covered. Larger attractions can get more tickets but might make it hard for guests to move. Moving guests is also based on the covered number. If a guest gets next to an attraction, put a ticket token on it. Try to move enough guests to hire a carnival barker, but remember they take up space. After each action, check if you meet the requirements for Tricks of the Trade cards. Once a player unlocks a trick, others have one turn to meet the same requirement or lose access. After seven rounds, count your points from attractions, barkers, guests who made it through the park, and tickets. The one with the most points wins. Remember, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Keep the game components in a dry and clean place to make them last longer.
