Set a watch!












Set a Watch is a cooperative strategy game where you must protect a series of locations from an encroaching army of monsters. Each round, one member of your four-hero party stays at camp to rest and perform vital actions, while the other three stand watch. You must use your limited dice and unique character abilities to defeat the monsters in the 'line' before they breach your camp.
Your dice represent your stamina. High rolls are great for killing monsters, but low rolls can often be used to trigger powerful hero abilities. Think carefully before spending a high die on a weak enemy.
Set A Watch digital edition sees you holding out against waves of enemies as you fight to secure the land against evil.
