Clank Catacombs Board Game Review — Clank! Catacombs Review – Is This the Best Clank! Yet?

Welcome back to BoardGameBollocks for a no-bollocks review of Clank! Catacombs, the dungeon-crawling deck-building adventure from Dire Wolf and designer Paul Dennen.

In this review, we dive into what makes Clank! Catacombs different from the original Clank! games, including its modular dungeon, deck-building, exploration, monsters, treasures, secrets and the ever-present threat of making too much CLANK!

Is the new modular board a genuine improvement? Does the dungeon-crawling gameplay keep things fresh? And is Clank! Catacombs worth adding to your board game collection?

We'll take a look at the gameplay, components, artwork, mechanics, replayability, strategy and overall experience before giving you my final thoughts.

If you're considering buying Clank! Catacombs, or you're already a fan of Clank!, Clank! In! Space! or Clank! Legacy, this review should help you decide whether it's worth getting your hands on.
