Allll right, Set a Watch fans--- I know you're out there somewhere. What are your favorite characters to play with, and why? My Top 3 atm are: 1. The Heretic 2. The Wizard 3. The Barbarian Comment your faves if you dare 😈
Rogue, Barbarian, and the Heretic (I haven't gotten my copy of Forsaken Isles to the table yet, so I can't speak for the new characters. You're right, there are a ton of rules issues in this game, which can be very annoying and I wish they'd bothered to really clean up the rule books for Doomed Run, but it doesn't look like they bothered. Unfortunately, I think the assumption with some of these companies is that people will go to BGG if anything pops up rather than correcting rules. I think they forget that not everybody is a massive gamer who is even aware of the website. All said, this is a fun little adventure game, and can be pretty brain melty if you're playing solo.
I just found the game at GenCon, tried it and fell in love with it. The best part, which is what prompted me to buy it, was that they had an insane discount for buying the whole set of games which also included the deluxe version of the OG game! Definitely a great find
That is awesome! Great way to buy in for sure. I'll be curious to hear which of the characters become your favorites as you play! I'm a big fan of the Heretic :)
Thank you for this video 🙇♂ I find your review spot on. The combat loop is indeed wonderful. The rulebook and board issues are indeed there but they're not game breaking
May not be committed enough to buying all 5 boxes for Doomed Run lol but it sounds fun! Sometimes it can be nice to play a collab game as a good break from competition with friends, so I appreciate the review! Happy to hear some more good collab games
Doomed Run is a strsnge product to recommend, but I really enjoy it. My group's issue with the standalone game is it goes for a little too long, and Doomed Run fixes it wonderfully, in my opinion. The expeditions are shorter and the side quests make us really invested in them. We almost always do multiple expeditions in one session and actually spend more time with the game.
Thanks so much for sharing this perspective! I'm glad you're having a good time with it. The side quests really spice things up, for sure, especially the ones that pose larger/more significant challenges.

@.23 Oh no! More A.I. art. Dare I watch?
I took it straight from Grimcoven 😝
Is "Doomed Run" a prediction on the success of the release?
💀
Is this a good game if you aren’t a huge gamer?
Definitely! Set a Watch is a lot of fun to engage with casually :)
