Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin – Kickstarter

Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin funded on Day 1 in just 29 minutes and has already unlocked 8 stretch goals.  We’re just getting started and will be revealing new Stretch Goals every morning so stay tuned and keep stoking the fire!

Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin is a 60-90 minute, cooperative adventure puzzle game for 1-4 players. Swords of the Coin is a stand-alone expansion featuring the same critically-acclaimed gameplay along with some new twists centered around collecting coin and buying items from the merchant.  The expansion is fully compatible with the original game; creatures, locations and characters can all be mixed and matched together with the original Set a Watch.

If you’re unfamiliar with the original game, Set a Watch is a cooperative game where you must combat fiendish creatures at nine locations while keeping your campfire burning. Every round you will visit a new location and pick an adventurer to rest and take camp actions. The adventurers on watch attempt to clear a line of creatures with their dice and abilities. The original deluxe game became a reality thanks to over 5,800 backers and features 8 different adventurer classes. You can learn more about the original game here.

Swords of the Coin includes brand new locations, creatures and at least 4 new Adventurer classes each with their own unique dice, abilities and mechanics.  All the Adventurers, creatures, and locations from the original Set a Watch are fully compatible with this new standalone expansion and can be mixed and matched for more variety when playing either game.

The Adventurers in Set a Watch are champions gathered from around the Kingdom to defend against the Unhallowed threat. Swords of the Coin is named for the mercenary guild that has recruited outside the Kingdom’s borders to fight the expanding Unhallowed scourge.

Swords of the Coin introduces a new camp board where you will be awarded with coins for diversifying your camp actions.  When you take a camp action, you also take all of the coins placed there by the merchant. At the end of the camp phase, the merchant places an additional coin on every camp action that wasn’t taken that round and then offers to sell you their wares. Don’t worry because new items arrive daily!

After the camp phase, Adventurers may spend their coin to acquire new items from the merchant board. Each Adventurer can hold up to two items.  Some items are discarded for one time effects while others are powerful weapons and equipment that supplement your ability cards:

The Outriders Expansion pack includes 34 new creatures and 6 new Unhallowed illustrated by Alexandr Elichev, one of the artists of Gloomhaven and Frosthaven. This expansion introduces a new game mechanic with Creatures that have the Rider ability. Riders snap together with certain creature types when they are adjacent to them, creating bigger and more powerful creatures (i.e. a Beast Rider card snaps and is placed over top any adjacent Forest Creatures). This shortening of the line can cause some additional creature powers to trigger.  Leaving that Forest Creature in first position isn’t as safe as it used to be!

This expansion is compatible with the original Set a Watch and Swords of the Coin.
