Delightful deckbuilder Clank! now has a digital version

Everyone has at some point thought about what it would be like as a fantasy burglar crawling down into a monster-infested dungeon to make off with heaps of loot, all while not waking up the terrible dragon that dwells within. Don't you dare tell me you haven't or my perception of reality will be absolutely ruined. 

Anyway, tabletop adaptation experts Dire Wolf have dropped a digital version of Clank, a deckbuilder about doing just that: Sneaking into some caves and stealing cool stuff. Your cards let you get loot, fight monsters, and sneak around.

It's notable as a more approachable deckbuilder for people who don't always love the ultra-deep combos and metagame strategies—something that might be fresh if your only exposure to deckbuilding is via videogames.

Dire Wolf is a well-known name in digital board game adaptations, most recently for their quite good spin on Dune: Imperium. The Clank release is currently in Early Access, but only aims
