About the game
If you already enjoy the tension of sneaking into dungeons and trying to escape alive without waking the dragon, get ready because the adventure has shifted scenery. In Clank!: The Mummy's Curse, we swap damp caves for the scorching sands of Ancient Egypt. The premise remains a frantic race for treasure, but now the danger is doubled: besides the fearsome dragon Croxobek, who remains the ultimate threat, you'll have to deal with the curse of an undying mummy.

This expansion introduces a fresh and tense dynamic with a wandering mummy that roams the pyramid's corridors. Picture this: you're almost reaching that priceless artifact, but the mummy is right there, spreading its vile curse and making life miserable for anyone daring to rob the tomb. The game keeps the core deck-building essence, where you upgrade your skills to move faster and carry more loot, but now with new artifacts that can shift the tide of the game.

The experience is that classic mix of 'push your luck' combined with hand management. You want to dive deeper to grab the most expensive treasures, but every wrong move can make too much noise, attracting the dragon's attention or triggering the mummy's traps. It's a game of risk, reward, and plenty of laughter when someone makes too much noise at the worst possible moment. If you already own the base game, this expansion is the perfect spice to add more layers of strategy and danger to your exploration. Can you escape with the riches of the ancients, or will you end up as just another skeleton in the pyramid?
