7 itemsAbout the Game
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?
Victory is earned, not given.
