@3:18, it is not about having AT LEAST the value of that type of performer to use a main city, it is about the EXACT performer shown in the main city. That's why it also depicts a picture of the performer on the scoring card.
Wow, those board covers for player counts are a great touch! It is a small thing but got my attention in a positive way, shows the publisher is really thinking of the game at the table.
I think the Automa's priorities for Performing is not how you played it? Their priority is not just Big City - Small City - Town, but their FIRST priority as per rulebook is to perform in the next scoring region if they don't have majority yet. So for example if Indianapolis hasn't been scored yet, and they aren't currently winning it, they would prefer to do a Performance in a Town there, instead of a Big City in another region. Because they still have time to do that later, just like a real player would prioritize the next scoring region as well. And also I don't think they would put on a value 4 show, since it says they want at least 5. So in the bottom row they would do 6 or higher. I know technically their value was 5 but there was no 5 value spot in that Small City, only 4 and I don't think they are happy with that.
On the first turn of the game shouldn’t the Automa have placed his caravan on the first big city that Barnum would reach? I.e. Indianapolis Therefore you would have to start in Washington DC?
This week is a good week. First with Barcelona, and now with 3 Ring Circus! Thank you ❤

Correct, and flip an artist tile and not a card
This game is going to replace Drumroll for me. It's going to scratch that itch and then some.
pretty sure your first turn was illegal - dont think you can put on a show on your first turn, at least according to the rulebook
Please turn on the Klingon Subtitles like Richard asked at the start of the video. Thanks
