09:07 I was incorrect taught the tile was always placed at random, didn't find out the actual rules until 4-5 games later. I noticed we played much more conservative when all tiles were random so I think it was a good call not to add for every tile and still giving some element of choice.

great review. Roy has really grown as a reviewer. Happy to see him get to be in front of the camera a bit more.

[markbeaulieu]

I pre-ordered this after watching the playthrough you guys did. Glad to see the high scores but what you showed in the playthrough all looked really good.

[JorWat]

I guess I need to look into this now. Played Clank!: Catacombs just the other day.

But can you eat the living statue? I hear they taste like shellfish.

[bambamacidpunk]

hope they bring catacombs to digital. pre-ordered the expansion but nothing beats being able to play fast whenever you want without having to set up or manage things

[KMReviews]

Playing with the adventuring party would be so fun

[danvenables]

Looks like more Clanky goodness from Dennen. Not too sure about the glasses though Tom!

I just can't help but feel that so much of the charm in Clank! comes from the simplicity. This looks like it adds a lot of complexity and "clunkiness" and I am not really convinced it is worth it. It is a shame though, cause I was so extremely hyped for an expansion for this game as I would love more tiles and just more stuff in general, but I am not really sure this one is it for me.

I need that shirt, Roy! Where can I find one?
...and this expansion.

I wish this video came out earlier so the preorder free card was still available. But great game. Love more stuff for it

[ralphstultiens]

I have Clank! Basegame and 4 expansions. I wonder if the new clank is so much different that i need to jump on this as well.

[FeartheMalice]

I am glad I pre-order this. Sadly I am not going to play it any time soon :/

[TerrierHalo]

Now if they add a way to go into the underground in the next expansion they’ll have all the best stuff from DungeonQuest. Or Drakborgen and Drakborgen II to be more exact. :)

I'm surprised I hear so many fans saying Catacombs is the de-facto way to play. While I definitely enjoy the exploration, I'm still picking up map boards for the original clank because they're just as fun to explore today as they would have been when they first came out.

I would also argue that the original deck of cards is much better than the catacombs deck. I can't say what I'm not a fan of off the top of my head, but I remember not loving the Catacombs deck as much.

[bricelory]

I can see why people enjoy this more than "traditional" Clank, but after watching the playthrough, I'm not sold on tile-based Clank for myself. It has enough randomness with its deck that I like to be a little more planned ahead. I dunno, just feels oddly more generic, less flavorful to me.

Not saying no one should like this: it seems really well realized. It just probably won't be on my shelf as the way to play Clank

[snowren]

Sounds like the introduction of the pits may slow the game down, no?
