Renegade Game Studios Clank! Legacy: Acquisitions Incorporated

The game arrived quite quickly and in good shape!

Muy bueno ,llegó rápido y bien protegido

My two sons and I just finished our last game of the Clank! Legacy campaign and we had one of our best board game experiences of our life! This was our first Legacy-type game and we had a blast. The box is appreciably honking with tons of envelopes, boxes and secrets. The character figures are fun and the colored bases make it a snap to keep track of which of the gray characters is yours on the board. Quality was pretty good but not perfect. Our separate player-health tracker board was a bit warped, the "Book of secrets" game book was poorly bound and all the pages were falling out by the end, some of the stickers and cards had printing or color-consistency issues, and it can be hard to precisely place stickers to make everything line up. Nothing to majorly detract from our enjoyment but still worth noting so you're aware. Most of the cards looked great and the stickers were of high-quality and stuck well (sometimes too well after you realize you misaligned something and can't fix it...) If you've played base Clank! before, this is a similar experience though not identical. There are lots of new rule and game play mechanics as well as some that were removed (e.g., there are no "Device" cards in this version). During the campaign play-through, the regular objective of getting an artifact and escaping is still present but you have more to do and additional story-based objectives. There's typically plenty to do such that different players can focus on completing separate objectives. The story aspects of these objectives are more choose-your-own-adventure than full-on D&D role-playing but there are also plenty of less restricted player decision. You can be cooperative and use group-tactics like agreeing to not purchasing anything from the Dungeon Row to keep near-to-death players alive longer or you be cut-throat and just focus on #1. In my case, playing with younger kids, 10 and 12, working cooperative was important to keep the game fun for all. Still, there were times when some of my kids felt left-out when they didn't get the highest score or didn't get to do as much of the story portions during a game. We were able to keep the game balanced though for us and everyone had fun. You play through 10+ games with the same group of 2 to 4 people each game lasting 2 to 3 hours. For our experience, we easily had 25 hours of game play. Plus, when the campaign is over, you have your own customized copy of Clank! to keep playing into the future with two board sides. The card backs are the same as the base version of Clank! so you can even mix-and-match cards between them. Nearly all of the cards in this version of the game are new and they do a better job at opening up game play options and providing interesting synergies. The game is quite funny and the descriptions at the bottoms of most of the cards are simply a delight. We had never watched or listened to any of Penny Arcade's Acquisitions Incorporated but we still enjoyed the characters and world and smiled a ton at the humor, silliness, fantasy cliches, and not-so-subtle D&D references :) This is definitely worth picking up if you're a fan of Clank!. If your groups hasn't played Clank! before, I believe you still stand to have a good time but will be at a bit of a disadvantage during the first few games as you learn the intuition of which cards to buy to help you achieve your objectives whereas veterans can focus more on the new mechanics and story beats. Lastly, you'll want to sleeve the cards due to how often they are reshuffled by players. This is a highly recommended game and a great cohesive multi-session experience!

So far we are thoroughly enjoying Clank! Legacy. We had a very exciting and close first game and are bursting with anticipation for the rest of the games.

Best legacy game ever.
