This is exactly the video I've been looking for. Thank you thank you- been looking for a new deckbuilder to replace Dominion and this seems like a much better fit for my group. Would love to see more of these kind of videos! An LCG next, perhaps? Betrayal? Maybe even Dominion?
Clank! Is great! I'd also recommend Quest for El Dorado. It's not as goofy or as tense as Clank!, but it's pleasantly simple, and still has some interesting decision-making with the deck-building and movement.
@@GameNightPicks I agree, perfect video, I also needed not to get lost among the many version, while I just started playing clank half a year ago, thank you!
What a great video! Totally clear! Btw today there is a new expansion for the core game called Clank! Adventuring Party which adds 2 more players and each player has its own different deck! :)
I own Clank! In Space… never played Clank! Original and now I own the Legacy game Acquisition Incorporated… And I must say that, to me, the Legacy one is the better version of Clank. My kids and I are almost done with the campain. We play a session or two each weekend and progress through the story and add components to the game itself… or more (I won't spoil anything about the "DO NOT OPEN ENVELOPPE" or anything else). And this Christmas, I'm giving the original Clank game to a friend so I will be able to compare the 3 main versions :)
Well, the best answer I can give to that question is, "it depends". I think the original Clank is an excellent game to introduce people to deck-building concepts, and moving across the board doesn't add too much complexity. Clank In Space increases the complexity just a little bit. So, I wouldn't recommend using that version as a gateway game - I'd save it for once the players are a bit more experienced with deck-building and modern gaming concepts. I'd think that Clank Legacy is a more specific taste - if the players don't like legacy games, then I doubt they would appreciate the mechanisms that Clank Legacy introduces. So, I think it will depend on the player's familiarity and comfort level with current tabletop games, and the complexity of the experience that they want to have. I hope this helps!
@@GameNightPicks do you have recommendations for the expansions (for original Clank! or In! Space!)? Are there any stand-outs? Any duds? I've only played Sunken Treasures, and I thought the new cards were the best part (discard synergies are fun), but you didn't exactly have time to go through all of the cards and other details in each expansion.
@Shelby: My favorite two expansions are currently the Apocalypse expansion for Clank In Space, and the Ape Lords expansion for classic Clank. I like the additional ways the black cubes are used in the Apocalypse expansion, and the rotating spaces & set collection used in the Ape Lords expansion. Those are my two top recommendations. I hope this helps! :)
Will this be the start of a new series? If it is, please do Arkham Horror LCG at some points in the future, or for an even longer video, LOTR LCG. Hahaha. I am serious about Arkham Horror LCG, though...
That's an excellent suggestion. If I do more of these "Buyer's Guide" episodes, the AH LCG is a great candidate. I'm putting it near the top of my list of episode ideas. 😀👍
I’m probably 1,000 of these views lol I’ve watched this so many times just to remember everything that’s going on, and help me decide which one to buy next.
Thanks for the video! I went with Clank! Legacy. Our group had so much fun playing it. Any advice on which base Clank! expansion to buy and merged with Clank! Legacy?
Thank you for the review. I like both Legacy and Classic Clank. I know It Is a Legacy, bit for a group that wild acyualy play this game more than once, would you recommend base Clank or the Legacy? Beacuse has been told me that you can play Legacy as normal game After the campaign
I still have a question though. If I get the Legacy version and finish the campain, can I mix it with Mummy's Curse and Sunken Tresors or do I have to buy the original Clank! before I get those expansions?
That is a good question. I would say those expansions could be combined with the Legacy version. I think some of the treasures may be slightly different, and there will be a different pool of cards. But no changes so drastic that the expansions would be broken or unplayable. (Of course, this is just my opinion, and I've been known to be a fan of a bit of chaos in my games.)
So I bought Legacy and it be my only copy of Clank I played Clank before but not the Legacy. I heard it's like having Clank base game and two expansions
I would say it's more than that because each and every game of the story lets you add more stuff into the game. I would compare it to having mini expansions each time you play. Even the two sided board makes your adventures refreshing during the campain.
Hey Chaz. Where did you get the "Planetary Destruction" Scheme?? I dont have that one in my Apocolypse version. Instead I received "Atmosphere Theft" a level 2 scheme.
Hey Chaz, great video and loved how you broke down the different versions. I just recently got into board games and I want to get my 8 year old daughter into them too, do you think the original Clank! would be good for her? or would that be too complex for a kid, who is also getting into board games.
I really like the Schemes and additional uses for the black cubes that the Apocalypse expansion in the Space line adds. It's the Space expansion I prefer. I hope this helps!
Yes. It is called the Adventuring Party. It also gives character roles so each player has special powers. But you don’t have to play with the character cards.

I absolutely adore Clank and Clank in Space. I own both. This is significant because I HATE deck builders.
I love Clank! and want ALL of the expansions :-)
I think I prefer the space version. Thanks for the info.
Thank you! I didn't know we could use the character packs with the original game. I HAVE to get these!
I'm glad the video was helpful. Cheers!
thank you for giving me the strength to game the Clank in space w. the expansions :D i got it, havent tried it yet.

One of my favorite games as well awesome video!
The Clank Legacy board and components are so nice, wish that was the base game's quality.
So Chaz which version of clank is best to buy?? I am still confused

Very nice video. Helped me enormously in my decisions as to what to buy next. Thank you very much 👍🏼😄
I'm very glad to hear this video was helpful! I hope you enjoy whichever item you ended up buying next. Cheers!
I thought A Buyer's Guide would have had you recommend the best title...
Josh Smith I had the same thought and then fund he answered it to another guy. Check Sean Morgan‘s comment.

Chaz, thanks as always!!!!!
Thanks Chaz. I've been wondering about Clank Legacy and how it fits in with everything else
My pleasure, Mike. Enjoy! :D
Thanh’s! Clank is my favorite game. I’ve started the legacy version but another game got in the way.....pandemic.
God bless! I really needed this.
I'm very glad this video could be helpful! Thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it!

7:20 Illegal movement out of a security checkpoint.
Watched a whole playthrough and the only way they got swords was with the mercanary...are there other way to get swords?
Hey Chaz, great video and loved how you broke down the different versions. I just recently got into board games and I want to get my 8 year old daughter into them too, do you think the original Clank! would be good for her? or would that be too complex for a kid, who is also getting into board games.
From my personal experience I feel that Clank would be too complex for that age range
When's the next Thrift sift?
It's been years... plural... since the last one.
Does anyone have any opinions on the In Space expansions? Which one do you prefer? Why?
I really like the Schemes and additional uses for the black cubes that the Apocalypse expansion in the Space line adds. It's the Space expansion I prefer. I hope this helps!
nice
So there are expansions that add a 5th or 6th player correct?
I know for regular Clank there is an expansion that goes up to 6 players. I own it, but I forgot the name.
Yes. It is called the Adventuring Party. It also gives character roles so each player has special powers. But you don’t have to play with the character cards.
Now I see
It’s a trap!
Too bad Clank legacy has terrible art. Very cartoony and flat. What a letdown.
I'm guessing you don't like acq inc/ penny arcade
