The Jägers are troublemakers: They are all Soldiers, and they all pop one Soldier, so if you pop one of them, you just might get them all! But their second effects are not always so great: They include \"Let another player draw a card from your score pile\", \"Let another player draw three cards from your hand\", and \"Put this card in another player's score pile.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dingbots like to clump together — they are like the Mimmoths from the original edition of Girl Genius: The Works, who are returning in the Circus deck — but they're not quite as talented as the Mimmoths.

There are two major blocks of cards in this deck: Prisoners and Minions. Castle Heterodyne is a huge semi-conscious prison, and many of the characters in the story are stuck there. Thus, the Castle says, \"If you have four Prisoners in your Score Pile right now, you win.\" But accumulating four of them can sometimes be pretty painful.

Unique character blocks in this deck include Circus Cards, Mimmoths, and some fairly nasty Villains. Roughly ten cards in this deck are part of Master Payne's traveling circus. Although these Circus Cards have different effects, popping some — such as André and Lars — grant you an automatic win if you have five or more Circus Cards in your score pile!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of the other cards are designed specifically to help you get closer to the Circus Card goal. Baba Yaga, for example, lets you steal a Circus Card from another player's score pile. The Horse Monster Beastie, on the other hand, scares all the Circus Cards from play back into the deck!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mimmoths — tiny, wooly, adorable mammoths — travel in herds, so whenever you pop one of them, you get to steal all the others from every player's score pile!
