While adventuring is often associated with battling through hordes of terrifying creatures, the downtime between these intense encounters is equally crucial. For tabletop RPG enthusiasts, the scenario of settling down for a long rest, only to be ambushed by lurking dangers, is all too familiar. This is the essence of Set A Watch, a unique strategy game that originated as a board game and is now making its way to digital platforms including Steam, iOS, and Android.
In Set A Watch, your mission is to protect a campfire from relentless waves of monsters. Between these attacks, you strategize and prepare for the next onslaught. You'll choose from six distinctive heroes to form your party, and use dice rolls to address various challenges and fend off the creatures.
