Steal the adventure in the deck-building board game Clank! Sneak into a furious dragon's mountain lair to steal precious artifacts. Dig deeper to find more valuable loot. Acquire cards for your deck and watch your thieving skills grow.

Be quick and quiet. One wrong move and CLANK! Every careless sound attracts the dragon's attention, and every stolen artifact increases its wrath. You can only enjoy your loot if you make it out of the depths alive!

Clank! is a deck-building game. Each player has their own deck of cards, and building it up is part of the game. You start each round with five cards in hand, and you play them all in any order. Most cards generate resources, and there are three different types:

Skill, used to acquire new cards for your deck.
Swords, used to fight the monsters that fill the dungeon.
Boots, used to move around the game board.
Every time you acquire a new card, you place it face up in your discard pile. When you need to draw a card and your deck is empty, you shuffle the discard pile and turn it face down to form a new deck. With each shuffle, your newest cards become part of a larger and better deck! Each player starts with the same cards in their deck, but they will acquire different cards during their turns. Since cards can do many different things, each player's deck (and strategy) will become more and more different as the game progresses.

During the game, you have two goals:

Retrieve an Artifact token and escape the dragon by returning to the place where you started, outside the dungeon.
Accumulate enough points with your Artifact and other loot to beat your opponents and win the title of the Realm's Greatest Thief!
