In Topito, players manipulate the circus animals and workers to complete objective cards in their hand. The game includes a number of circus rings in which activities take place, and on a turn a player adds a block to a stack or moves part of a stack onto another stack. If any player, whether active or not, has one of their objective cards met by this move, then they reveal it and draw a new card. If a player drops a block, they must discard a previously met card as a penalty.

The first player to have seven cards in front of themself wins!
