Learning Video Game Design on the Tabletop comes with a set of Cheapass Game‘s Button Men, courtesy of James Ernest. The book’s Button Men fighters were inspired by Sanctum, an online game I helped create back in the late 1990s.

Button Men is a clever little game and definitely worth trying out. You can find information (rules, game materials, etc.) here… and as a bonus, here are two legacy Cheapass webpages about Buttonmen (here and here).
