Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 5 out of 10

    Each turn in Clacks is a puzzle in which you are switching on and off lights to form a pattern representing a letter in a message. Tiles provide a limited set of options for doing that, as well as moving your enemy, the postmaster, along his track. Puzzles are in a no win situation with me. If I can solve them quickly, I deride them as too easy. If I can't, then frustration sets in. At least in cooperative mode, Clacks falls into the first category. Admittedly, the progress of the postmaster allows for hardly a misstep, but on a turn by turn basis this just didn't engage the grey cells enough. Production quality is good. The artwork is forgettable.

    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 :-)

    I think it'd be a very different game with 4 players, but as a 2 player game was quite enjoyable. The variants sound interesting as well.

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.
