About the game
If you're the kind of person who can't see a treasure chest without wanting to loot it, Clank! Expeditions: Gold and Silk is your next stop. This expansion pushes the boundaries of the base game, leading adventurers to new and dangerous settings. Forget the routine; the fun now unfolds across two new boards that bring fresh challenges to your deck-building experience.

First, we have the mine abandoned by the Ruin Dwarven Mining Company (or Ruin DMC, for those in the know). The place was deserted when monsters moved in, but greed speaks louder: there's still plenty of gold buried there for anyone brave enough to face the beasts. If that's not enough, you can try your luck in the Spider Queen's Lair. They say she's just a legend meant to scare people away from her fancy castle... but is she really?

The game keeps the core 'am I making too much noise?' tension, where every card played could lead you closer to the loot or attract the dragon's fury. The dynamic of building your deck while exploring these new maps adds layers of strategy and variety, ensuring every expedition feels unique. You'll need a nose for gold, a bit of luck, and, of course, the skill to get out of the dungeon before everything blows up (or you get eaten).

Important: remember that this product is an expansion. To put on your boots and start the exploration, you absolutely need the base game Clank! A Deck-Building Adventure. Without it, you'll just have beautiful boards but no adventurers to walk them!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play with only the expansion?

What exactly comes in the box?
The expansion provides new thematic boards (Dwarven Mine and Spider Queen's Lair) that change the adventure's scenery.
Does the game become harder with the expansion?
The complexity doesn't change much, but the new maps offer different layouts that require new movement strategies.
How many players is it for?
It follows the same line as the original: 2 to 4 players, great for groups who love 'push your luck' tension.
How long does a game last?
Between 30 to 60 minutes, maintaining the fast and fun pace of the base game.
Is it recommended for beginners?
