Overview

Dive into the action-packed deck-building board game Clank! as you sneak into the lair of an irate dragon to pilfer precious artifacts. Venture deeper into the mountain to discover even more valuable treasures, enhancing your deck and sharpening your thieving skills along the way. Stay stealthy and quick—one misstep could lead to a thunderous CLANK! Each careless sound alerts the dragon, and the more artifacts you snatch, the angrier it becomes. You can only enjoy your spoils if you manage to escape the depths alive! Clank! is a strategic deck-building game where each player starts with their own unique deck. On your turn, you begin with five cards in hand, which you can play in any order you desire. Your cards generate three types of resources: Skill: Use this to acquire new cards for your deck. Swords: Deploy these to battle the dungeon’s monsters. Boots: Move around the board using these. Whenever you acquire a new card, it goes face-up in your discard pile. If you need to draw a card but your deck is empty, simply shuffle your discard pile to form a new deck, with your latest cards included. As the game progresses, each player’s deck—and strategy—will evolve uniquely, thanks to the variety of cards acquired. Throughout the game, you have two main objectives: Retrieve an Artifact token and escape the dragon by returning to your starting point outside the dungeon. Gather enough points from your artifacts and other loot to outscore your opponents and claim the title of the Greatest Thief in the Realm!
