  1. 7 out of 10

    A boardgame based on Terry Pratchet`s book "Clacks". It features both a competitive and a cooperative game mode, but the goal is the same. You have a 5x5 grid with balck and white so called lights and you have jacquards with different patterns which modify them. By combining these you have to achieve different patterns associated with letters to be able to successfully send the message. It is basically a game of combinations. In both play variants there is a time limit which makes the combination making even harder.

    -sold- Going Postal the Boardgame is a neat little puzzle game with two games in a box. The competitive mode simulates the fight for "Employee of the month": The one who transmits his message the fastest while being hindered by his co-workers is the winner. The cooperative mode recreates the race between the Clacks Company (sorry for missing the correct term in english) and the postal office of Ankh-Morpork. Pretty tough race... pretty tough. The components and the artwork are nice, the gameplay is simple but quite brain burning. Cool little puzzle.

    Abstract puzzle. While I like puzzles, here the "versus" variant doesn't make much sense. I havent tried coop.

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.
