About the game
A fast-playing and chaotic trading game descended from Pit. This year's Hench Games has been interrupted, and all of the Henchmen are somewhat mutil...disassemb...sick. You need to use Piffany's powers of healing to put a henchman back together. With mostly the same parts he started out with. To do this, you will need to collect healing ingredients and trade with other players for body parts and healing items. In real time. This game was prototyped under the title Evil Geniuses, which received an honorable mention in the 1999 Hippodice Spieleautorenwettbewerb.
