Life Siphon - an abstract skirmish with awesome metal extras

What attracted me to this game was the astonishing metal pieces that come with an extra $25 pledge. It's not just that metal in unusual, they're iconic, abstract sculpts, rather impressive design pieces in their own right. That would seem to suit the style of the game, which seems to be a quite bloodthirsty, semi-abstract skirmish, quite well.

Life Siphon is a murderous jaunt where you try to destroy your closest friend. You can only attack left, so consider it a clockwise brawl of the cursed power. Life is your only resource, so plan wisely when summoning creatures and using cards. With no dice thrown, player strategy and agency determines the winner!

Dragons have taken over the surface, forcing humans underground. During explorations, you and your fellow humans discover a box with an orange glowing eye on the outside. The words DO NOT OPEN are carved on the sides. Of course you open it...ONLY TO BE INSTANTLY CURSED!

The only escape is to take out your closest friend while using your new cursed powers to summon Familiars and cast spells at the cost of your own life.
