OutcomeReleased nationally through Ultra PRO in April 2019. The circus concept unified an entire game world across cards, packaging, and rulebook -- differentiating the physical object from standard box games with a cloth carry bag that arrives like a theatrical prop. The Ringmaster character at the center of the identity was illustrated by Rod Mendez, inspired in part by Denver himself.
