Scheduled to be published by Jolly Roger Games, Nodwick Hench Games is set in the universe of the Nodwick comic books, written by Aaron Williams. As described at Nodwick.com, the comic "is a classic tale of boy meets party, boy hires on with party, boy becomes injured, crushed, punctured, smelted, flattened, stapled, eaten, and occasionally used to carry stuff."

The text on the game box reads:

"Oh no! All of the contestants at this annual Henchgames competition have been horribly mauled! With the healing skill of Piffany, you have to try and field a contestant as quickly as possible... from Henchparts.

"Based on the Nodwick comic book by the critically-acclaimed artist Aaron Williams, this card game is fast and furious as players race to accumulate the components necessary for the reassembly of their henchman! And that of course means scads of duct tape!

"Nodwick: The Card Game comes with over 100 fully-laminated, full-color playing cards with original Nodwick art created by Aaron especially for this game; it contains the rules (one page), a 60 second timer, and an exclusive eight-page Nodwick comic!"

The game is for 4 to 6 players and takes about 10 minutes to play. Recommended for ages 7 and up.
