Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin

About this board game

Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin is a cooperative fantasy game for 1-4 players, with play time of approximately 75 minutes. It can be played as a standalone game or combined with the original Set a Watch.

The Kingdom is in grave danger, and four mercenaries must answer the call. Each adventurer has a unique set of skills, but they must work together to drive the darkness from the Kingdom and protect the camp from the creatures advancing through the night.

During each round, the party visits a new location and chooses one adventurer to rest. That mercenary gets paid and uses camp actions, while the rest of the group remains on watch. The coin earned during these encounters can be spent at the new Merchant board and through the accompanying item deck.

• Play cooperatively with 1-4 players.
• Use four distinct mercenaries with unique skills.
• Visit new locations and choose who rests each round.
• Spend coin on powerful items from the Merchant board and item deck.
• Battle a line of all-new creatures trying to reach the camp.

Purchased items support the adventurers who stay on watch, giving the party additional help as it faces the creatures pressing toward camp. Every decision contributes to the larger struggle: rest and earn coin, take camp actions, or rely on the active party to hold back the darkness.

In Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin, keeping the campfire burning remains the central challenge. Use your wits and the mercenaries’ skills to protect the light, because if the fire goes out, the Kingdom will be lost to the darkness.
