Clank in Space Board Game Review
19Clank in Space is a deck builder that pits you against your friends to see who can claim the most points by looting the ship and escaping alive. Being too greedy is a fast way to have Patrick Stewart wipe his tears on your red-shirted corpse. At the same time, playing it too cautiously will make your pitiful score the laughing stock of The Galactic Lords Of Artifact Thievery, or "GLOAT" for short.
