## Description
Get ready for a new show of horrors at your inn with The Bloody Inn: The Carnies! This expansion brings the troupe of a traveling circus to your doorstep, with guests who are a spectacle in themselves: bear tamers, bearded ladies, knife throwers, and fortune tellers, each with their own tricks (and troubles). But don't worry, you also have new tools to deal with this eccentric crowd. Wolf traps, sinister wells, and snow piles are at your disposal to ensure these circus performers don't slip away. After all, who needs an audience when you have such... *interesting* guests?

The base game rules remain the same, but The Carnies adds three modules that can be combined at will to add extra spice to your nights of work. The 'Carnies' module introduces these new and colorful characters, with the option to add event cards that make each round even more unpredictable. The 'The Notables' module replaces the original nobles with equally distinct figures, and the 'Aunt Ginette's Tips & Tricks' module brings (costly!) advice from your grumpy aunt to boost your strategies. With 52 new cards, this expansion promises more chaos, more (nervous) laughter, and, of course, more bodies to hide. If you enjoy the peculiar horror and hand management of The Bloody Inn, this addition is a VIP ticket to the darkest show of the season.
