About the game
The Clank! In! Space! saga gets a new chapter with the Apocalypse! expansion, plunging players back into the fight against the fearsome Lord Eradikus. This time, the cybernetic villain is about to execute a nefarious plan to annihilate the last pockets of resistance in the galaxy. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to thwart his plans, reap the rewards of heroism (even if reluctantly), and perhaps save the galaxy… all while filling your pockets with treasure. Can you avert the apocalypse? Or is the plan just to escape with the loot while someone else deals with the mess? This expansion introduces new board modules, increasing replayability with different layouts each game. The adventure deck cards and Lord Eradikus's schemes add more challenges and twists, keeping the tension high. The 'push your luck' mechanic remains the heart of the game, encouraging players to risk more for greater rewards, but always with the danger of making noise and attracting the villain's attention. Prepare for more tough decisions, more treasures to plunder, and more moments of pure space adrenaline. Remember: you need the base game Clank! In! Space! to play.
