Clank In Space Captures the joyful fun of deck building synergy with the puzzle-like nature of moving around a hazardous board and collecting shiny things. The board pieces fit together SO snug that I am almost positive that the edges will become frayed after a few plays of this. These cards are purchased normally from the market row but they have a green title instead of blue (or red for the enemies you defeat).

Many of them have effects using the black cubes, though some of them are just cool in their own right. His favorite games are The Gallerist, Lords of Waterdeep, and any heavy game he can get his hands on.You will find yourself more often than not flipping back and forth through the book trying to find something or reference something you thought you saw earlier. Every time they take damage, they move the cube up the number of points of damage on the health track. Moving throughout the spaceship can yield rewards, if you move over a space that has an Artifact you can pick it up, but you can only take one. Clank In Space also comes with tons of tokens, a set of unique player minis, and one for Lord Eradikus, as well as some generic cubes and a nifty bag to pull them from.

The basic premise is the same, players take the mantle of an interloper looking to burgle goods from a perilous destination. These will just collect there, perfectly innocently, until certain cards drop out of the adventure deck, triggering an attack from Eradicus and his minions. The Danger Theater and the Race Track both use the “lightcycle” pieces to track your progress in these arenas as you amass 3+ Clank in a turn (Danger Theater) or acquire/defeat additional cards in the adventure row (Race Track).Shake up the bag and draw the number of cubes respective to the Eradikus marker on the Rage Track (2 cubes, 3 cubes, et al) You could get lucky and draw all black cubes. Every Clank you make on your mission will bring Eradikus ever closer to discovering you and foiling your attempts to recover the stolen goods.
