While adventuring often focuses on combat against horrific creatures, the downtime between these intense moments is equally crucial. This is the essence of Set A Watch, a captivating dice-rolling campfire-defense strategy puzzler that's set to launch soon on iOS and Android. Originally a board game, Set A Watch brings its fully fleshed-out mechanics to mobile devices, challenging players to keep their campfire burning against waves of monsters.

If you're a tabletop RPG enthusiast, you'll relate to those moments when you've just finished a perilous adventure and settled down for a much-needed long rest, only for your GM to throw a new threat your way. Set A Watch captures this tension perfectly, now available in digital form on Steam, iOS, and Android. In the game, you'll face relentless enemy waves intent on extinguishing your campfire, with each lull between attacks used to strategize and prepare for the next onslaught.

You'll have the chance to select from six unique heroes, assemble your party, and roll dice to address various challenges and fend off the lurking beasts. Set A Watch transforms the simple concept of resting adventurers into a thrilling blend of tower defense, strategy, and puzzling RPG elements, truly capturing the essence of surviving a prolonged battle in the wilderness.

The only downside is that, while there's a Steam page, we don't yet have specific listings or a confirmed release date for iOS and Android. However, I'm keeping a close watch on Set A Watch to bring you all the details once they're available.
