Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 6.5 out of 10

    We played the prototype at Essen 2014. Quite a nice puzzle game, building the pattern required with action points and score. Downtime is the problem with this game. It is difficult to plan ahead as the board will be changed by the previous player. Perhaps experience helps to bring down the downtime.

  2. 4 out of 10

    Ultimately disppointing. Despite the rich integration of theme and a delightful game presentation, there is way too much useless downtime in this game, allied with the futility of trying to advance plan. Chaotic games can be good (see Artus for one of the best examples), but there is just too little control in Clacks. You may as well spend the time spent between turns playing something else.

    A really cool game for people who like to excercise their spatial intelligence. Quality components and two different game modes - coop and competitive in one box. Want it :-)

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.
