Product Information

I played Dune Imperium before I played Clank In Space, so I really shouldn’t be surprised at how well the card play intersects with the board. You then add any clank cubes from the board to the included velvety bag and draw as many cubes as Lord Eradikus demands! The other tiles just lay on top of that and with the instruction manual the box lid closes all the way with no issues and very little gap inside. This list has wallet-sized and wallet-friendly games; games for the first timer and for friends who have been playing for years.

Skill: the number of cards you can acquire for your deck; each of the cards you can acquire have a Blue banner on them. Everything is done very professionally with this company and always lets you know every step of the process. Many of the games’ cards, including those two infuriating stumbles in your deck, force you to add “clank”.

The few changes they made to this version of the game really work to make the theme even more awesome. A few others are also bumbling around the ship, making noise, attracting unwanted attention, and scooping up the good stuff for themselves. The basic gameplay of Clank in Space is relatively unchanged, though I also really like the Executive Escape Pods. Pretty much every card parodies a character or meme from a popular SF franchise: close enough to be recognisable without going so far as to actually infringe on any patents, copyrights or trademarks. Thankfully, the expansion gives you at least a couple other ways to install them (like the Demented Inventor or the Shady Installer above).

Each of these has benefit (Swords, Boots and treasure points for the end game), so they certainly have a use. Pretty much every action you take on the ship is dictated by cards that you can purchase for your deck every turn. This is the one place where I found the movement on the map to really direct my deck building: do I go out of my way to collect a power crystal so that I can trigger these cards, or not? The longer you spend running around the ship, the more points you accumulate, but the riskier it gets.The artwork on the board and the cards is fantastic and the theme is just as awesome here in the space version as it was in the fantasy version of the original Clank!
