OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

Clank!: Catacombs - Lairs and Lost Chambers is all about exploring and collecting treasure in an underground labyrinth, where players must avoid making noise to avoid attracting the attention of a voracious dragon. Each game is unique, as the construction of the board changes each time, offering new strategies and challenges, while participants compete to leave with the most riches before the dragon wakes up. The game dynamics encourage interaction and competitiveness, making each session an exciting experience full of surprises.

Tips for playing

Here are some tips for doing better in the game Clank!: Catacombs - Lairs and Lost Chambers:

  • Explore as much as you can early in the game to discover valuable items and shortcuts. The more you explore, the better your chances of finding valuable treasures!
  • Balance your progress between picking up artifacts and returning to the exit. Staying too deep can be risky if other players start running away.
  • Take the opportunity to heal yourself using the potions you find. They can be the difference between life and death when dragons attack.
  • Use cards that allow you to remove Clank! from your inventory, so you reduce the risk of drawing unwanted attention to yourself.
  • Keep an eye on your opponents' moves and take advantage of their gaps. If someone drops a lot of Clank!, use this distraction to your advantage.
  • Maximize your points by focusing on picking up high-value artifacts rather than lots of small ones. This can give you a good advantage in the end.
  • Know the layout of the catacombs well and remember the shortcuts. A well-traced path saves time and avoids unnecessary damage.
