The Boxing Glove is the first of the Melee weapons. These only allow Pixel Lincoln to attack an adjacent enemy. Because of the limitation, they're a little cheaper to purchase than the ranged projectile weapons, but these can also pack quite the punch.
If the Beardarang were Lincoln's left hand (face?) weapon, then his right hand is the Boxing Glove. In the video game it's always there when you need it, but in the deckbuilding game you'll need to purchase it for a whopping two coins! It also has a value of two coins, so Boxing Gloves allow you to buy other Boxing Gloves! That card-cloning can be pretty fun.
And finally, where did it come from? Well, originally it was a karate chop. It wasn't flashy enough for the video game, so we game him the glove. I still have artwork of the chop and originally was going to include it in the deckbuilding game as a 1/1 melee weapon with a cost of 1.
Also, here's one of the first images of Lincoln wearing the Boxing Glove! It was illustrated forever ago by our Illustrator Jon Fisher.
