    Clank! Expeditions: Gold and Silk

    Worth it

    Reviewers found both maps easy to teach and different enough to change how you play; the only gripe is no new cards.

    Needs: Just the base game

    Adds: Double-sided board: Dwarven Mine and Spider Queen's Lair, with tokens and a market board; no new cards.

    Fixes: Two maps with their own simple rules add variety.

    Clank! The Mummy's Curse

    Worth it

    Fun new map and cards, but Meeple Mountain found the mummy rarely does much, so it ranks behind Sunken Treasures.

    Needs: Just the base game

    Adds: Two-sided board, 41 cards, a wandering mummy and pyramid die.

    Fixes: Adds a new map and card set for more replay value.

    Clank! Adventuring Party

    Needs: You need Clank! or Clank! Legacy (after campaign).

    Adds: 6 asymmetric starting decks/characters and a side board for 5-6 players.

    Fixes: Lets 5-6 people play and gives each player different starting powers.
