Discover Hidden Treasures and Escape the Depths with Clank! Catacombs
Clank! Catacombs is the latest standalone entry in the popular Clank! series, combining deck-building mechanics with dungeon-crawling excitement. Players dive into a constantly changing underground labyrinth where every game introduces new challenges and layouts, thanks to the modular tile system. As you explore, your goal is simple: gather treasures, outwit your opponents, and escape before it’s too late. But be careful—every move you make risks awakening the fearsome dragon that guards the riches.
Designed for 2-4 players, Clank! Catacombs offers an exciting balance of strategy, luck, and daring as players navigate a dungeon that shifts and evolves with each game. Whether you're a seasoned Clank! veteran or new to the series, this game promises dynamic gameplay and endless replayability.
Introduction
In Clank! Catacombs, players are intrepid adventurers seeking to loot treasures from an underground dungeon while avoiding the ever-present threat of the dragon. The game builds on the deck-building mechanics that fans of the Clank! series know and love but introduces a new layer of excitement with shifting dungeon tiles. Each time you explore, the layout of the catacombs changes, creating a fresh and unique experience every time you play.
Players must balance their desire for treasure with the risk of making too much noise (or "clank"), which increases the chances of waking the dragon. If the dragon attacks too often, players may not escape with their lives, making every decision critical.

How to Play
Clank! Catacombs offers an engaging blend of strategy, exploration, and risk-taking. Here’s how to play:
- Setup: Each player starts with a standard deck of cards. Place the starting tile and arrange the dungeon tiles face down. Draw the initial adventure cards and place the dragon in its lair.
- Explore the Dungeon: On your turn, play cards from your hand to move through the dungeon, gather loot, and defeat monsters. Each move reveals new parts of the catacombs, creating a unique path for each player.
- Manage Clank: Some actions generate "clank" (noise), which increases your chance of waking the dragon. At certain points, the dragon attacks, and players who have made the most noise are in the greatest danger.
- Collect Treasures: Use your cards to gather valuable artifacts, secrets, and treasures scattered throughout the dungeon. The more you collect, the higher your score—but also the greater the risk!
- Escape or Risk It All: Once you’ve gathered enough loot, make your way back to the entrance to escape the dungeon. The first player to escape earns bonus points, but staying too long risks being caught by the dragon.
With every game, you’ll need to balance your desire for riches with the ever-increasing danger of the dragon. Will you play it safe, or push your luck for bigger rewards?
