Description
If you have an insatiable thirst for plunder, Clank! Expeditions: Gold and Silk is for you: a series of boards to continue your deck-building adventures.
This first expedition begins in a mine abandoned by the Ruin Dwarven Mining Company (Ruin DMC) when it became infested with monsters. But it still holds plenty of gold for those daring enough to enter.
Still more wealth awaits in the Spider Queen's Lair. Surely the Spider Queen herself is just a legend meant to scare people away from such a fancy castle…
This expansion requires Clank! A Deck-Building Adventure to play.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Dwarven Mine side — A new side of the board focused on gold mining with veins touching rooms; introduces gold-centric strategy and token mechanics
- Elevators — Two elevator shafts allow movement between depths; each use costs one Colt coin; interacts with depth progression and access to a different area
- End Game Bonuses — Tokens awarded for mining the most, second most, and third most veins; final tallies influence scoring
- End-game bonus tokens — Tokens awarded for mining the most, second most, and third most veins; final tallies influence scoring
- resource and action management — Spaces offer gold, healing, boots, swords, or secret tomes; some actions cost resources immediately or provide discard pile enhancements; final points from web tokens are not revealed until end
- Resource Management — Spaces offer gold, healing, boots, swords, or secret tomes; some actions cost resources immediately or provide discard pile enhancements; final points from web tokens are not revealed until end
- Spiders Queen layer — Alternate board side where webs appear; replacing a seven-point artifact with an eight-point artifact; web tokens placed face-down on webs; movement through web spaces requires boots or swords
- thematic components — Giant spider meeple replaces the dragon; new player pawns replace meeples for Dwarven mine or gold side; thematically ties into the spider queen motif
- Vein mining — Mining bonus tokens in veins by spending blue skill points; collecting money and placing Clank cubes to mark mined veins; prevents other players from mining the same vein on that turn
- Web tokens and treasures — Eight web tokens are revealed by cutting webs; treasures are drawn from the Queen’s cache when accessible; treasures are claimed by spending eight skill points and are marked with a Clank cube
