Clank! was one of my first real games that I played heavily, and now we have all expansions, we did the whole legacy campaign for Acquisitions Incorporated, and I got the asymmetric player expansion. Skipped Clank in Space but went for Catacombs and we really enjoy the exploring, but I don’t feel like there’s as much loot to scoop. One of my favorite things about OG Clank is how many tokens there are to slurp up and it’s fun having a big hoard of loot near the end. I do think I like Catacombs more because of the variable dungeon you create while playing but I’m not sure if it fully unseats the original. Any other Clank players out there who have thoughts on which they like best?

Catacombs does seem better with two in my experience as well, but I do miss the absolute glut of tokens to pick up that you get in the main games. Also the “reaction” cards in Catacombs aren’t as useful when there’s only one other player doing stuff, but we use the Adventuring Party characters which keeps things interesting enough since we each have our own personal mechanics to use. I love the mage lady who can gain and spend mana, saving up the max amount then having a huge turn feels really good.
