The flow chart boxes and paths could have been made in to something more artistic to help with the theme.

Played this for the first time yesterday. First time playing a Clank game. Very easy to understand. Was a really fun game!

[gregwilkinson]

Hoping they release the expansions/mechanics from sunken treasures, Gold & Silk and Mummy's Curse as tilesets & cards for Catacombs

[gingerscholar]

I have Clank! Adventuring Party for the original base. How well would that work (if it does at all) for Catacombs?

[GrimDarkDude]

im new to clank and am very interested in this but ugh why couldn't they add some flare to the paths to make it look like hallways or paths, not just lines so much missed immersion, would be an instant buy otherwise

[jongreisz]

Can't wait for my pre-order. Hopefully it's early November, as I'm having 4 days of gaming at my house starting the weekend before Thanksgiving. And would love to get this to the table.

[Alluvian]

That animated wall that rotates everyone's tile 180 degrees when it comes out. Can't that cause a player to get stuck in a disconnected loop? Or is it made in a way that all loops MUST have a teleporter?

[Nayr]

Part of me likes that this is so variable, which is great for replay. At the same time, part of me likes the other Clank games because it actually let me plan my route and plan ahead. This led to really zippy turns. I think with Catacombs, you'll have to think a bit more on the fly. Still looks good though, great review!

[uplift-yourdailypickup]

I was going to ask if I needed to keep old Clank if I had this and I think I got my answer. I don’t know if I need to keep all my old clank stuff. Actually I was trying to find a reason to get rid of it so I can have that precious shelf space back.

[douglasdea]

My friends and I love Clank! and regularly play it. We'll definitely be picking this up.

[dannykdri]

Tom plays many many games and has played many many games of Clank, Clank legacy etc... so something that adds a new twist anf mixes it up is of course going to appeal to him (and Roy for similar reasons). I feel like for most people if you own Clank and expansions already there really isn't a need to get this unless you've played it out and are tired of it.

[benjaminchernik]

i wish clank in space got the same level of expansions and new game iterations as base clank...that theme is much more interesting to me

[guillermoz]

Always awesome when Roy is part of a review 🤘🏽

[Haldurson]

I've had it preordered and I can't wait. I obsessively check every weekday to see if it's about to ship.

[marccote]

Really love Roy’s passion and energy when he review games

[StephenAslett]

As someone who has played the original but not Acquisitions Incorporated, would you recommend this over that?

[robertbouley]

Very excited for this. New to Clank, but this looks significantly more appealing than other renditions.

[Carsten_de_]

Does it really add that much to Clank! that I need to pick this up? I try to be reasonable.... I own Clank! In! Space! and every of its expansions and haven't play all of them often enough yet. I think I will pass this time. But for everyone who is new to Clank! it might be a good choice to pick this up over regular Clank!
Thoughts?

[Yeomen]

How does this compare to clank in space? I like that Clank in space makes you take some time.
