Card drafting games are games in which players pick cards from a limited subset, such as a common pool, to gain some advantage (immediate or longterm) or to assemble hands of cards that are used to meet objectives within the game.
Card Drafting
This mechanic usually requires players to pick up an item or good at one location on the playing board and bring it to another location on the playing board. Initial placement of the item can be either predetermined or random. The delivery of the good usually gives the player money to do more actions with. In most cases, there is a game rule or another mechanic that determines where the item needs to go.
Pick-up and Deliver
Player elimination occurs in multiple-player games (>2) when a player can be eliminated from the game and play continues without the eliminated player.

I was surprised by this expansion. I was expecting something overpriced and simple, the usual add a few more tokens, a couple of rules to allow 5-6 players and a simple asymmetry. And well, let's be honest, it is kind of. Nevertheless, my first impression with one game, I recognize that they tried hard to do something interesting and worthy of throwing your money to. First, the asymmetry. I was just expecting a couple of new cards in the initial hand but I was surprised by a mini personal board for players and interesting characters. Second, the additions to allow 5/6 players. This is additional clank cubes, gold, artifacts/secrets tokens, etc. as well as a few rules to modify the set-up that allows a fifth and an even a sixth player. To be honest I would never play a game of clank with so many players. We have more than 50 plays logged and still the last rounds of the game are quite slow, with all the combos you are probably having to take into account. The downtime at five / six players will be too much, so this is an addition not very interesting from my point of view. Third, the "reaction" cards, are a nice surprise. I had already read about it before, and I was not impressed as it just looked like a patch to get people engaged in the huge downtime you have in the 5th / 6th player games. Basically, now you have some cards that, if some conditions are met, you can play during the turn of other players: you play it on the table and you draw an additional card (so when your turn arrives, you will play 5 + 1 = 6 cards). The specific decks of each character already have a few reaction cards on them and the expansion brings you additional cards to shuffle and use for the market (As usual… should we take out some "old" ones to avoid "dilution" of the new and be able to see them appear more often?). I must recognize that it works quite well in practice and it improves the flow of the game for people who already knows how to play. It forces the players to draw their five cards in advance quickly and start thinking about what they are going to do next, while keeping an eye on what the others are doing, as react conditions are dependent on others gameplay. For example, in the case of Xavier's orc, one react card can be used if somebody else kills the last monster in the market row. I don't know if it was due to the low expectations, but I enjoyed quite a lot this expansion. It is not something that blows your mind, but the asymmetry is interesting enough to give envy to explore the different characters gameplay. I am not sure they are fully balanced, we will see, but I do not really care. They are quite fun. In addition, the reaction cards are a good idea and improves the flow of the game for experienced players. I just found it a bit overpriced just for these two additions, as I disregard the 5/6 player one (even though it is a nice to have feature). My opinion is that it is still worthy to take a look at it, if you enjoy Clank! In our case, I believe that from now on, we will play always with this extension.

Definitely makes Clank! a more exciting game, though the characters are more powerful so you are less likely to die in the depths which perhaps means that the "take the cheapest artefact and run" approach isn't going to work. We get more high scoring games playing with these characters. I notice that others have said Monkeybot Prime is OP but we've found that all the characters can be quite strong if you build their decks to their strengths.

Very good, but could have been excellent! [b]Pros:[/b] I really like the player decks and player powers. The characters and new art and meeples are cute and flavorful! I really like the react cards and the arrive choices, even with fewer players it's just more fun when engaged on your opponents' turns. We had a lot more banter and bluffing about having relevant cards in hand. [b]Cons:[/b] The player powers are not at all balanced. Their power will depend on the player count, where e.g. D'Allan is much better with more players than with fewer, but characters like the Monkeybot Prime are just plain OP. It's such a shame because the flavor of the characters is well done and I love the asymmetry, but it's not fun when the game is decided during set-up.
