Burn With Me is a hand-drawn card game that stands out due to artist Eva Manuilovich's prominent role. The game revolves around the artist's own right hand, which plays a crucial part in dealing cards during matches. Players assume the roles of occult university students, carrying out forbidden sorcery under the watchful eye of a lupine lecturer.
The objective is to fill a vial with spiritual energy by placing creature cards around a pentagram. Each card has a base points value, but additional modifiers such as adjacency effects can enhance a card's value. A key feature of the game is the ability to draw a random new card by burning a random card from one's hand. The game also includes a sanity vial that allows players to store excess points as a reserve.
While the game may not be as extensive as Balatro, it offers a refreshing alternative with a story-driven approach. Each chapter focuses on a particular student's soul, revealing their sinful desires through a series of battles. Despite some room for improvement, Burn With Me provides a satisfying card puzzler experience that doesn't become a lifelong habit.
