Adventuring Party brings a burst of adventure, strategy, and a thieving twist to fans of the Clank! series. The expansion allows up to six players to gather for dungeon runs, loot treasures, and of course, make noise – the famous "clank" that can attract the fearsome Hydra Hexavultus. Each of the six characters has an asymmetrical starting deck and unique abilities: Dwarf Agnet excels at collecting, Elf D’allan masters treasure gathering, Orc Garignar crushes enemies, Mage Lenara casts arcane spells, MonkeyBot Prime amasses primate power, and the cat Whiskers brings feline mischief. The core mechanic blends deck building, bag-based item collection, and movement points, while players must manage resources, use strategic interrupts, and decide whether to push their luck or wait. The expansion also introduces delayed purchase, end‑game bonuses, and player elimination, keeping the pace frenetic and tension high. With playtime between 60 and 120 minutes, Clank! Adventuring Party offers medium complexity, ideal for groups seeking quick fun yet strategic depth. If you enjoy dungeon exploration, treasure hunting, and making noise, this expansion will knock your socks off – and maybe even tame the Hydra! ## How to Play Game Objective In Clank!: Adventurers' Guild, players take on the role of thieves exploring a dangerous dungeon to steal valuable treasures. The goal is to collect artifacts and other precious items, escape the dungeon alive, and accumulate more points than your opponents. Watch out for the Hexavultus hydra, which fiercely protects its treasure! The game ends when a player escapes the dungeon or is eliminated by the dragon. The player with the highest score, counting artifacts, items, and other bonuses, wins. Setup Follow these steps to set up the game: Board and Components: Assemble the main board and add the Auxiliary Board for 5 or 6 player games. Place the Dragon Marker at the start of the Fury Track. Artifacts: Add the 5 new artifacts to the original 7. In 5-player games, shuffle all of them and remove 2 randomly. Place the artifacts in the corresponding rooms, with the gold version on top and the silver version underneath. Little Secrets: Add the new Little Secrets to the originals, shuffle them, and place them in the Bank (not on the board). Market: Add the new items (Backpack, Crown, and Master Key) to the market. Place 2 of the 3 available Invisibility Cloaks. Starting Decks: Each player chooses a character or uses one of the standard starting decks. Unique characters have customized decks and special tokens. Clank! and Gold: Players 1 to 4 place Clank! in the corresponding area. The 5th player receives 1 Gold, and the 6th receives 2. Consult the manual for details on specific characters and their setups. Gameplay Flow The game follows alternating turns between players, with each turn divided into phases: Playing Cards: The active player plays cards from their hand to perform actions such as movement, combat, or resource acquisition. Movement and Actions: The player may move through the dungeon, collect treasures, face monsters, or buy cards from the market. End of Turn: Discard played cards, refill your hand, and resolve Clank! effects or dragon attacks, if applicable. During an opponent's turn, you may use cards with Reaction to gain advantages on your next turn. Actions and How to Play Main Actions Movement: Use Boots to move through the dungeon corridors. Monsters in the tunnels may require combat. Combat: Spend Swords to defeat monsters and earn rewards. Treasure Collection: Pick up artifacts, Little Secrets, or Gold in the rooms. The Backpack allows you to carry more than one artifact, but not from the same room. Special Cards Reaction: Activate these cards during an opponent's turn to gain bonuses on your next turn. Choose Upon Reveal: Some cards offer choices when revealed, such as gaining gold or generating Clank!. Consult the manual for details on unique character abilities. End of Game and Scoring The game ends when: A player escapes the dungeon with an artifact. A player is eliminated by the dragon. Scoring is calculated by adding: Value of artifacts (the gold version breaks ties). Points from items like Invisibility Cloaks (5 points each). Little Secrets bonuses or character abilities. The player with the most points wins! Tips for Winning Clank! Management: Cards that reduce Clank! are valuable to avoid dragon attacks. Unique Characters: Explore your character's special abilities, such as mana (Lenara) or gear tokens (MonkeyBot Prime). Escape Timing: Don't take too long! Grab an artifact and plan your exit route before the dragon becomes furious. ## FAQ ### How many players can play? 2 to 6 players. ### What is the playtime?
