Clank!: A Deck-Building Adventure Insert & Organization Guide

Renegade Game Studios · 2016

Clank! ships in a deep box with a single large well and a mountain of small components (cubes, tokens, dragon bits, market cards), so without organization it becomes loose bags and slow setup, and expansions only add to the pile.

The box it comes in

The factory insert is weak

The retail box is essentially an empty cavity with a token bag. There is no meaningful tray, so cards and dozens of small bits float freely.

Your options

laser-cut kitFolded Space FS-CLK

Foam-core insert compatible with the base game plus Sunken Treasures, The Mummy's Curse, Gold and Silk and the Acquisitions Inc. pack. Individual trays double as table caddies and the boards act as a lid.

Sleeved cards fit
laser-cut kitBroken Token / Laserox wooden kits

Laser-cut wood organizers for Clank! offer a sturdier, premium build with strong assembly video support, at more weight and a longer build than foam.

Tight with sleeves
3D-printed trayCommunity STL sets

Printable token trays and card trays for Clank! and its expansions circulate on the usual STL repositories.

Sleeve fit varies
DIY foamcore insertDIY foamcore / bag system

Because the box is so deep, a homemade foamcore tray or a set of labeled bags is a cheap and effective route many owners take.

Sleeved cards fit

Sleeved cards & the insert

Folded Space rates its Clank! insert for sleeves up to 100 micron. Clank!'s market deck is shuffled constantly so sleeving is common; confirm the card channel depth if you use thicker premium sleeves across the full expansion count.

The verdict

The retail box gives you nothing, so any organizer is an upgrade. Folded Space FS-CLK is the value pick and covers every expansion with sleeved cards; choose a wooden Broken Token or Laserox kit if you prefer durability and don't mind the extra weight. DIY foamcore works if you'd rather not spend.
