A kickstarter stretch goal to Spindlewheel, "Bodywork" is an expansion pack of 15 cards that explore the joys beauties and horrors of having a body, illustrated by Coey Kuhn and written by J.A.C. Clark. In his words:
"The hope for this deck is to build a story that is intimate in a visceral way. It is intended to be a discomfort that marries story to self.
