Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin
A downloadable game
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.
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.

Built the game and want to share a few thoughts, for future prospecting players/buyers who stumbled upon this page like I did.
The only good thing I can say about this version is that all necessary components are available (with very clear labels), and how the Outriders mini-expansion is also included.
The many bad things I can say about this version are that all necessary components are available in blatantly unpolished status, and how unclear the assembly instructions are.
- Card fronts and backs are available separately. Each card takes up a page, making component previews time-consuming.
- Some card backs are not properly formatted, meaning the builder will have to do additional tweaking if they wish to have their cards with full backs.
- Instructions are barebones, leaving important issues to be figured out by the builder (How am I supposed to know the Outriders deck, the Unhallowed deck and the Creature deck all share the same Creature deck back? How big or small should the player boards be? How should the punchboard be printed out?)
I would not recommend buying this unless you are willing to jump through hoops, or is already experienced in building PNP games. I appreciate the option of having a full PNP option for a retail game available, but when the print part has this many missteps, perhaps put up a more transparent disclaimer?
This PnP is still tagged as 'in development'. Is this the final version of rules and components?
Will the French version be available as pnp ?
Just selling and no customer support :( Very disappointing!
There are no cardsback included?? Can we use the ones of the base game??

I just purchased this and it seems to be missing the game board? Or am I just not seeing it?
+1 Where is the game board?? Or should we use the one of the base game?

Are these the final components?
