Clank!

FAQ
v1.2

Points to remember for setup:

• When playing with less than 4 players, remove random artefacts
from play (remove 1 with 3 players; and 2 with 2 players)
• Each minor secret location holds two tokens
• Place starting Clank! Tokens before the game starts: 1st player
places 3 cubes; 2nd player 2 cubes; 3rd player 1 cube; 4th
player none
Can you put artefacts down and switch them for other
artefacts worth more points?
• You cannot drop an artefact once you have picked it up.
When does the dragon attack?
• The dragon only attacks when a card with the dragon symbol is
flipped into the Dungeon Row. Even if multiple cards are flipped
when re-filling the Dungeon Row, the dragon only attacks once.
The dragon does not attack if, at the start of the player’s turn,
there is already a preexisting dragon card there (i.e. new card
with the dragon symbol must be flipped).
What triggers the end-game Countdown Track?
• A player gets out of the dungeon back to the starting space with
an artefact
• A player gets knocked out
Should one item be placed in each marketplace room
or can you buy any item in all of them?
• Any market item can be purchased on all market spaces.
Can you buy multiple marketplace items of the same
kind?
• Yes, you may purchase any amount you want. Even just to deny
the item to other players.
In the marketplace: can you buy more than one item
per turn?
• Any player can buy as many items as they can, even during a
single turn. You don't even need to exit and re-enter the room. If
you start your turn on a marketplace, you can immediately buy
things.
Clarifications on “blue sky” board marketplace.
• You can pick up one minor secret (or even an artefact worth 10
points) in the marketplace spot that has them and make your
purchases at the same time. Example: provided you have
enough boots, you can gain a minor secret, buy a backpack,
move to the marketplace with the 10-point artefact, buy a key,
move back to the first marketplace and take another minor
secret while also buying a crown (provided you have said 3 boots
and 21 coins to spare).
Does the artefact (on “blue sky” board) have to be
purchased from the marketplace for gold?
• No. Only the Crown, Backpack, and Key need to be purchased.
Other points to remember:
• Picking up an artefact moves the dragon higher on the Rage
Track
• Defeated monsters and used devices are gathered in the central
discard pile, there is no reason for individual players to keep
these
• Secrets (both kinds) are revealed directly and stay revealed
• If you teleport out of a Crystal cave you still cannot use boots
anymore in this turn
• All cards in your hand must be played each turn, even if the
result would work against you (there are exceptions to this rule,
such as “discard” action)
