Clank! In! Space!: A Deck-Building Adventure

Assemble the modular ship and adjust artifacts, market stock, and starting rage for the player count. Each player shuffles a ten-card starting deck and draws five cards.

Play every card in your hand, interleaving cards and actions as desired. Skill, Swords, and Boots share resource pools; unused resources disappear at turn end.

Spend Skill to acquire cards, usually into your discard pile, or Swords to defeat enemies for rewards. Leave Adventure Row gaps empty until the end of the turn.

Spend Boots along paths, observing extra footprints, enemies, locks, and one-way arrows. Entering a security checkpoint prevents further Boot use that turn.

Hack an unused data port in each of two different modules to gain a command code and raise rage. Without the code, no movement method permits entry to Command.

Take one artifact and raise rage. You may carry only one and cannot exchange it. Market items cost seven Credits each, with at most one of each type per player.

Add noise cubes to the Clank! area. If an end-of-turn refill reveals attack symbols, resolve one boss attack: move those cubes into the bag and draw damage according to rage and Danger effects.

With an artifact, being knocked out in the Cargo Bay allows rescue and scoring; actually leaving by escape pod adds twenty points. Without an artifact, or knocked out elsewhere, you cannot be rescued to score.

Escaped or knocked-out players replace later normal turns with bag attacks: normally four cubes, or six in a two-player game. Once everyone is out, total artifacts, Credits, other tokens, and card points; tied players compare artifact value.
