The verdict

If you've got three reliable friends and ten free evenings, this is one of the warmest, funniest legacy campaigns out there. Just know the deck-building stays simple and the dragon plays for keeps.

Best for: A committed group that loves story, jokes, and watching a board change over weeks.

The full review

What it is

This is Clank!, the deckbuild-and-dungeon-crawl game, stretched into a ten-plus game campaign with a daffy corporate-fantasy story bolted on. You're employees of Acquisitions Incorporated, a startup that sends you delving for treasure while a dragon naps nearby. Make too much noise (clank) and the dragon notices. Between sessions you sticker the board, tear open new cards, and write your company into a book. Real players keep calling the writing snarky and genuinely funny.

The catch

Here's the honest part. The deck-building underneath is only okay. You play your whole hand each turn, trashing options are thin, and some turns boil down to one sensible move. The campaign hides that with story, but folks who came for a deep engine notice. Setup and upkeep pile up too, the scratch-off bits litter the table, and the dragon can still kill you outright. That old-school elimination stings if your group hates getting knocked out.

Who it's for

The catch with any legacy game is the commitment, and reviewers say it loudly here. You need the same three or four people across roughly ten nights, or the whole thing stalls on a shelf the size of a microwave. Get that group, though, and people adore it. Their Book of Secrets ends up in tatters from love. If you want a light, funny campaign more than a brainy one, this is a keeper.
