Adventuring is often about more than just combat; it's also about the critical moments of rest and recovery between battles. For tabletop RPG enthusiasts, the tension of a long rest interrupted by lurking dangers is all too familiar. This concept is brilliantly captured in Set A Watch, a strategy game that originated as a board game and is now making its way to digital platforms including Steam, iOS, and Android.

In Set A Watch, players must defend their campfire from relentless waves of monsters, turning what might seem like a simple rest into a complex strategy and puzzle game. You'll choose from six unique heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to tackle challenges and fend off threats. Each moment between enemy waves is crucial for planning and preparation, making every decision vital for survival.

This game transforms the idea of a long rest into a gripping, pseudo tower defense experience, where strategy and puzzle-solving are key to surviving the night against the forest's lurking beasties. While Set A Watch has a Steam page, specific release dates and listings for iOS and Android are yet to be announced. Keep an eye out for updates as this exciting title promises to deliver a unique and engaging gaming experience.
