Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 7 out of 10

    Competitive mode: can be a real brain burner with trying to match up the jacquard patterns with the board lights. A big downside is that you really can't start planning out your next turn until it actually is your turn again, because the lights get changed so much by the other players - this causes a lot of downtime between turns. There are also "take that" style maintenance cards which can be annoying to some people (such as me).

    Loved the movie ‘Going Postal’ and was fascinated by the Clacks idea so the game appealed to me. I am so happy that I really enjoyed it. So far we’ve only played it two players, both competitively and cooperatively - both ways were very fun, figuring out how to turn the lamps the right way with as little ‘stress’ on the system as possible. I recommend it for people who like a little bit of a puzzle in their games.

  3. Pattern puzzle abstract, but much too easy. I think we managed to accomplish the pattern almost every single turn.

Clacks: A Discworld Board Game is based on the "Clacks" semaphore messaging system — the fastest (non-magical) messaging system on the Discworld — featured in Sir Terry Pratchett’s novel Going Postal.

Using a semaphore system of shuttered lamps on top of high towers, the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company has revolutionized long-distance communications on the Discworld. Their network of towers covers most of the Unnamed Continent, but now the old postal service is fighting back. Driven by the determination of newly "volunteered" Post Master Moist Von Lipwig, the Ankh-Morpork Post Office has challenged the Clacks operators to a race from Ankh-Morpork to Genua.

Play against your friends and claim the title of Fastest Clacks Operator on the line, or play together as a team to win the race across the Discworld and prove that Clacks is here to stay. In more detail, Clacks: A Discworld Board Game contains rules for a player vs. player game, a co-operative race game against the Post Office, and a children’s introductory game.
