Additional characters in the 10 player game:

Phil Mabiceps – The circus strongman.
Big and very strong. Dressed in a leopard skin leotard and boxer boots. Often carries a hand weight to exercise his muscles.

Hi Lee Supple – Chinese acrobat and contortionist.
Fit, slim and very able, she wears a one piece catsuit or leotard decorated with sequins and beads. She has a dragon tattoo (actually a transfer) on her back and silk ribbon streamers attached to her wrists.

Additional characters in the 12 player game:

Hairy Mary – Bearded lady.
As her name suggests she sports a full beard and moustache but she is obviously a large-busted woman wearing a floral dress and high-heeled shoes. She wears a gardenia in her smartly styled hair.

Orson Ryder – Bareback rider.
French by birth but has spent so many years in the circus that most of his accent has faded, although it is still just discernible. He wears a cowboy shirt, trousers, chaps, boots and a stetson hat.

We can customise this game.  However, sadly we do have to charge for this service as even minor customisations take between 1-2 hours to process in the office and we need to buy toilet roll and biscuits as much as the next person…

It’s hard to give “ball park” figures for what different customisations would cost however we’ve attempted to HERE.

Remember… if you just need 1 extra person, or 1 less person, why not add in the inspector as your extra guest.  The inspector can usually be male or female as the “for real” inspector can simply invent a new name for themselves.

Some hosts prefer to play the inspector role as it means they can work on the catering while the round plays out amongst their guests.
