This seems like a really good card for winifred. +2 minimum, you get to draw a card and can get this one back. Yeah for a few rounds this probably wont be good at the start but once cards like steadfast or unexpected courage are played this really develops quick.

Well hot damn; three things I was gonna do anyway rolled into one card. With no boosts to combat it'll take some work to pull off sometimes, but against the chaff of most scenarios this is just what you want. Besides, you can still chuck Overpower for it or Vicious Blow in a pinch, but that's a heftier expenditure.

I'm not sure it replaces Emergency Cache however. The primary usage of emergency cache is as your first action, then actions two and three complete your setup. On the other hand, emergency cache is pretty worthless drawn late in the scenario (in my experience), while this is still fantastic. Finally, the resources it grants aren't conditional on the attack; you get them even if you miss. Hell, you get them even before you attempt it, so if you have Physical Training or Keen Eye you can spend them immediately for benefit.

Neat little card.

Can I review the card's illustration and flavour text only? It might be my favourite in the game; where else does one see a monster looking so foolish?

This seems like a card that only does the thing it appears to be designed around in one deck -- namely, the Nathaniel Cho starter deck, where almost all of your fight actions are going to be from playing an event (or just a basic melee to finish off odd-health enemies).

For other investigators, the Boxing Gloves make an awful main weapon. But that doesn't mean they're useless, since if you can include Boxing Gloves in your deck you can include Bandolier and another Guardian weapon (even a two-hander if you use upgraded Bandolier). That +1 while fighting works while you're using another weapon (as does the search effect), and while having to find your Bandolier (and forego the use of an investigation tool) first makes them harder to play than Ace of Swords, there are probably decks that would love to run both.

Yo Minh, I heard you like Scavenging, so I got you this Scavenging so you can play while you investigate. This way you can Dr. Milan Christopher while you Cherished Keepsake, and even if you already have a Cherished Keepsake you can just keep it in your hand. Dawg.
