Clank! was one of my first real games that I played heavily, and now we have all expansions, we did the whole legacy campaign for Acquisitions Incorporated, and I got the asymmetric player expansion. Skipped Clank in Space but went for Catacombs and we really enjoy the exploring, but I don’t feel like there’s as much loot to scoop. One of my favorite things about OG Clank is how many tokens there are to slurp up and it’s fun having a big hoard of loot near the end. I do think I like Catacombs more because of the variable dungeon you create while playing but I’m not sure if it fully unseats the original. Any other Clank players out there who have thoughts on which they like best?

    Having played all 3, I think Clank Catacombs is the best iteration so far. The variable dungeon tiles really add to the “exploring” theme while improving the replay value. My group loves how you are really incentivized to push your luck on whether to take a known route back vs cutting a new path.

      Yes the path building is a great addition and it’s hilarious when you get a dud draw that totally screws you. I did end up in a situation where it was impossible to get back, we had a market card come out that rotated a tile I was on and caused me to be permanently stuck. So instead we rotated it one more time, but there are edge cases when the catacombs just eat you! I wonder if the game creators intended that.
