On May 16th, 1703, Czar Peter laid the cornerstone for the first building in Saint Petersburg. Quickly, glorious buildings were added, always being expanded, so that Nobility may want to move in. But to accomplish this, one needs merchants who can provide the necessary Rubles, or the glory is over. The competition isn't sleeping either, and can sometimes steal a desired worker right out from under your nose.

St. Petersburg, is an Economic, Drafting, & Set Collection game. During the game you collect workers, buildings, upgrades, and Nobles. The workers drive the income you use to acquire buildings which give you victory points while Nobles will often give you both money and points. Finally you can upgrade all three card types for greater efficiency. The winner will be the one who was most strategic in their drafting.

The evil Lord Eradikus has all but conquered the galaxy and is now on a victory lap across the sector in his flagship, Eradikus Prime. He may rule with an iron grip, but his most prized artifacts are about to slip through his cyborg claws. You and your fellow thieves have challenged each other to sneak aboard his ship, hack your way into its command module, and steal from him. Along the way, you'll recruit allies and snatch up extra loot. But one false step and — Clank! Careless noise draws the attention of Lord Eradikus. Hacking into his command module and stealing his artifacts increases his rage. You'd better hope your friends are louder than you are if you want to make it to an escape pod and get out alive...

CLANK! In! Space! uses Deck, Bag, and Pool Building, Delayed Purchase, Open Drafting, Player Elimination, Point to Point Movement, & Push Your Luck. Each player has their own deck, and building yours up is part of playing the game. You start each of your turns with five cards in your hand, and you'll play them all in any order you choose. Most cards will generate resources, of which there are three different kinds:

• Skill, which is used to acquire new cards for your deck.
• Swords, which are used to fight the monsters that infest the dungeon.
• Boots, which are used to move around the board.

Every time you acquire a new card, you put it face up in your discard pile. Whenever you need to draw a card and find your deck empty, you shuffle your discard pile and turn it face down to form a new deck. With each shuffle, your newest cards become part of a bigger and better deck! Each player starts with the same cards in their deck, but they’ll acquire different cards during their turns. Because cards can do many different things, each player’s deck (and strategy) will become more and more different as the game unfolds.
During the game, you have two goals:

• Retrieve an Artifact token and escape Eradikus by returning to the place you started, outside of the station.
• Accumulate enough points with your Artifact and other loot to beat out your opponents and earn the title of Greatest Thief in the Realm!
