How to Play SET A WATCH: SWORDS OF THE COIN with a Solo Playthrough

[@Michael.Virtus]

17:14 - Frost Wyrm's First Position activated losing you 3 firewood. 32:55 - 1, 4, 6 and 1, 4, 6 - when fate have a sense of humor. 1:01:32- Actually the Rats become 10 so the Forest Giant add 10 to his health to 17 or 16 later when another was revealed so Rats were 9 now - 1:02:14 - but it's okay since you killed the Giant with Blood Ritual ignoring the amount of his health anyway. And one clarification (not a mistake per se) at 1:03:24 - Adding to the Horde doesn't affect you in the Final Location, because there is no next round/location (confirmed by Mike Gnade on BGG), the horde for the Final Location is already added - a done deal. In any case this is the best youtube playthrough of Set A Watch (one of my favorite games of all time) that I've seen so far (and I've seen them all and they are usually infested by mistakes and misplays). And not only because of the negligible small amount of mistakes, but because of your overall solid plays and fluid decision making. Good job. I would love to see more Set A Watch playthroughs on your channel. Subscribing...

Thanks for watching and the time clarifications! :)

This is a kick-ass looking game. Looks like hours of fun.

I really love this game. The puzzle aspect to get the perfect combo to defeat the creatures is so fascinating. Doesn‘t come to the table often enough. And it packs a lot of game into such a small package.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Gunnar Muller I agree with everything you said. A great small game, that for me too, doesn't come out to play enough. Of course I can only blame myself, and all the other games I continue to purchase. :)

i just bought the base game based off of watching your run through of the base game. now i want to buy this one too lol. Thanks for making me spend money on a game i now really enjoy.

@PussNuggets That's why I post these videos ... so I'm not alone in all these game purchases! Glad you are enjoying the game!! :)

A lot of moving parts but I find the dice/card interaction very appealing. You took 10 minutes to set up. For normal people that equates to over 30 minutes. More than a bit rough especially since solo mode = play four-handed, noob. I find this solo mode uniquely ironic. To fix your dice: lay them on a silken scarf, anoint liberally with Irish whiskey, pour one out for yourself, if you’ve a want to, for a game well played, repeat. When you awaken your dice will be bonded.

@JJE McManus That's the best advice I've ever received for "fixing" dice. I'm off to the ABC store. :)

God you made me want to buy this game so badly

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Haha! That's what I'm here for, to spread the addiction ... I mean love of the hobby. ;)

Man those dice rolls... Break out the dice tray so you can throw them a bit, maybe it will increase your luck 😀

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@TwiztedJay Haha! Glad it wasn't my D&D session. :)

[@doogieboomstick9316]

Dale, can you explain why you upgraded 2 dice instead of 1 when using bloodied at 19:15? The card says 1 of your dice. Thank you.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

1 die “for each” exhausted card, so in this case 2. Hope that helps. :)

[@doogieboomstick9316]

@@DaletheCasualGamer aaa ok, the wording is a bit weird I guess. Can you do me a favour please. My last confusion is with the rules on p14 under Activating Non Passive ability cards. It says that I can potentially activate some abilities twice but then the next sentence says I can only do it once :/ Bit lost here.... Thank you Dale

[@marknemergut8244]

@@doogieboomstick9316it’s been a year but I’m just watching this now and saw your question. I believe what the rules are referencing is you can activate an ability once per round with a die, and a second time by exhausting it.

[@srrkato]

Im really intrigued by this one 👀 mi

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Srrkato I think it's a lot of game in a small box! :)
