Clank! Master Thief Edition

Clank! Master Thief Edition Announced, To Be Previewed At Gen Con

Ten years ago Direwolf Games introduced Clank! A Deck-building Adventure to the tabletop market. The game was enough of a success that it’s coming back new and improved in the form of Clank! Master Thief Edition.

This new version of the game doesn’t just come in shinier packaging. It’s a revised form of the game with bigger, better dungeons. To make room for them, the Rage Track, Health Track, and Market have also migrated to their own separate boards. These boards will be built with double thick cardboard and inset squares so the game’s cubes are more organized. As for gameplay differences, Direwolf is teasing updated endgame mechanics, new Ghosts, and various card adjustments, but won’t be going into details until the public unveiling.

Ten years of Clank! means ten years of stories and shenanigans from your tabletop heists: those tight escapes with multiple artifacts, the sessions with a very grumpy dragon that devoured your party on round 4, the time your friend swore revenge after you plucked their intended Artifact from under their noses with a 7 Boot movement… the Clank! Master Thief Edition lays a foundation for many more memories to come. 

The new edition will also come with an expansion the day of release:Wandering Monsters, which will include new cards and mechanics related to the tunnel monsters on the board. The expansion — which is optional — marks them with different colors and icons. As for what those colors and icons do, that info is classified for now.

But those classified files are expected to be opened at Gen Con in Indianapolis, where Direwolf will be holding previews and demonstrations of Clank! Master Thief Edition as well as selling early copies. Gen Con event registration opens on May 17.

Hey fellow adventurers! 🦉🎲

I just saw the news about the *Clank! Master Thief Edition* getting ready for Gen Con previews, and I'm hyped! It's hard to believe it's been ten years since the original *Clank!* snuck onto our tables, time flies when you're making a ruckus in the dungeon!

For those who haven’t played, *Clank!* combines deck-building with a thrilling dungeon adventure. It's a lovely blend of strategy and chaos, especially when you’re trying to snag the treasure before that dragon wakes up! The concept of sneaking around, stealing loot, and trying to escape without getting caught is just too fun to resist.

I’m really curious to hear what new mechanics they’re introducing in this updated edition. Will we finally see some reworked cards or new archetypes? I always felt like the game could benefit from a bit more variety in character abilities or an expanded narrative element, like what if you had different endgame scenarios based on the treasure you stole?

Also, as a non-min-maxing player, I have to ask: how do you all balance your deck for both treasure hunting and keeping an eye on that pesky dragon? Do you prioritize movement or treasure cards? Let’s hear your strategies and any memorable moments from your games.

Happy adventuring, and may your *Clank!* always be louder than the dragon’s snoring! 🐉💰
