About
Set a Watch is an adaptation of modern board game. Tactical dice management gameplay offers unique decisions for the players trying to fight back creatures. Control a party of unique adventurers, each with distinct skills to vanquish evil before the Unhallowed consume the world in darkness. Secure nine locations to prevent the acolytes from breaking the seals ... and try to survive. Every dice roll determines your actions—attack, rest, or prepare for the next wave. Plan wisely, fight strategically, and survive the darkness. Will you rise to the challenge?
Fight monsters using your special skills. Attack directly with dice or activate the right abilities. The right timing for each spell is key to surviving so use your options carefully - mistakes can cost you a run.
Roll first, strategize next—every result is useful if you play it right. Finding the best way out of multiple options is the key to victory.
Choose your actions wisely—Heal, Scout, Equip, or Light the Fire. Will you unleash powerful magic runes now or save your best dice for the battle ahead?
Pick members of your team before your journey. Build the best squad or experiment with different combinations from six adventurers with unique skills. Will you overpower foes with a brute-force warrior, outwit them with a wizard’s magic, tame forest creatures to your advantage, or stand resilient in the light as a cleric?
Regular and Unhallowed monster abilities combine with each other, 20 different locations, 6 heroes, 30 abilities, and countless outcomes. Will you claim victory? Set a watch!

Absolutely adore the board game and was pleasantly surprised to see an adaptation on steam. The Game feels good to play and captures the board game well. I will point out something that I think is a very silly decision however. They mention on the store page that they used AI for the card backs, but the rest of the art is taken right from the board game itself. Seems daft to do that, when they could have just taken the card back art from the game as well.
What a joke. First the go-live date goes by and not a word on why the game doesn't launch until a week afterwards. Now we purchase a game that wasn't even switched from demo access despite the extra time given to polish it. And may I ask why each character has to be invidiually chosen during combat? Why not show everyone on watch along with descriptions of their powers? Everything, from the graveyard to the characters, has to be accessed in its own screen. Do yourself a favor and buy the physical copy. It's a great game and Acram should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this slop.
After location 2 the game hits a splash screen to wishlist the full release and ends your run. Did they just charge me for a demo?!?! *FIXED see dev comment* Although the above issue has been resolved I just don't see why I would play this over the physical version. It's functional but fairly bare bones and comes with the usual digital boardgame tax compared to small indie video games that give you much more bang for your buck. I like Set a Watch but not so much I need to play it on the go or in a pinch when I don't have my physical copy around, so ultimately I refunded this.
I have been playing this game on table top for years. Love it. The interface on this steam version is very smooth, and simplifies the game. It is fun, addictive, and has a great tactical feel without brain burn. It is worth the money. It will take sometime to get your first win on harder difficulties. Only negative is it is only the base game, I would have loved to see the Sword of the Coin expansion. Those has my favorite champs in the franchise.
wait, why can't i continue the game?
Good for strategy, Working out which moves work best on which creatures. Devs seem quick to respond, which is always good. :)
Купив игру за фуллпрайс вы покупаете Демоверсию. За деньги вам продают Демоверсию игры. Буквально ДЕМО,, о чем и написано на титульном экране. Это немысленно!!! Пока не исправят это недоразумение - отрицательный отзыв и взашей гнать таких разработчиков из магазина Стим.
This is a fantastic digitisation of one of my all time favourite board games! Plays great on PC and on Steamdeck with touch inputs, highly recommended and hope the expansions come along in future!
