About the game

What you do in a play session

The Kingdom is plunged into darkness, and only you, a band of legendary heroes, can prevent the return of the terrible Unhallowed! In Set a Watch, you unite in a cooperative quest to visit nine crucial locations and stop the acolytes from completing their unholy ritual. Each round presents a challenge: one adventurer rests and tends to the camp, while the others face a line of monsters attempting to breach your sanctuary. Survival hinges on your cunning, the smart use of dice, and each character's unique abilities to manipulate the enemy order and defend the campfire. If exhaustion overcomes your heroes, the game ends. But if you can withstand all the rounds and the final Horde assault, the light will prevail! Set a Watch is an adventure and fantasy game featuring dice rolling and variable powers, perfect for those who enjoy a cooperative challenge where every decision matters. Prepare for an epic battle against the darkness, where strategy and luck must go hand-in-hand to save the world!
