Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin review

Set a Watch: Swords of the Coin is a cooperative board game that expands on the original Set a Watch game. It features new characters, locations, items, and enemies, all of which add a new layer of complexity to the game. While the original Set a Watch is a simple and quick game, Swords of the Coin is more complex, featuring more intricate character abilities and enemy actions.

I enjoyed the original Set a Watch, and while I was initially excited about the new content in Swords of the Coin, I found the added complexity to be a bit overwhelming. I prefer the simplicity of the original, and I found the new mechanics to slow down the gameplay considerably. I also felt that the new characters were less versatile than the original characters, making them feel a bit niche.

That being said, I can see how some players might enjoy the added complexity and depth of Swords of the Coin. If you're looking for a more challenging and strategic cooperative experience, then this expansion is worth checking out. However, if you're looking for a quick and easy game, then I would recommend sticking with the original Set a Watch.

Overall, Swords of the Coin is a solid expansion for the original Set a Watch game. It features new content that adds a new layer of complexity to the game, but it may not be for everyone. If you're a fan of the original Set a Watch and you're looking for a more challenging experience, then Swords of the Coin is worth checking out. However, if you prefer the simplicity of the original game, then you might want to pass on this expansion.
