Quotes (from this video)
  • Clank is a great deck builder that you're going down into the caverns and you're trying to gather as much stuff and then come back up before you get killed by a dragon basically
  • the story lines work really well on this but even without that part and sometimes we'll just play with just the cards that have no story
  • it's a heads down euro-y experience and I love how the systems interact so tightly
  • it's immediately fun and interesting and it's got this really cool mechanic where you're putting down dudes and the more dudes on a thing the more of whatever that resource trees or rocks whatever you get
  • eight totally different maps that all use the same system so it all uses the same deck of cards and then kind of three different sets come out and simultaneously you have to pick which one you're going to use
