Purchase the Clowns Faction on Forgefire!

Honk, honk—the Clowns are here! And—wow—they just keep coming. How did they fit so many in that one, tiny car? Get ready to fill the Big Top with applause. The Clowns juggle actions between the deck and discard, honk opponents’ noses, and smash bases, all while remaining perfectly in character (even if it scares the children... and me).

Clowns are from the Smash Up Clowns set and do not have a Titan card.
