## What is Set a Watch?

Set a Watch is an adaptation of modern board game. Tactical dice management gameplay offers unique decisions for the players trying to fight back creatures.

Roll first, strategize next - every result is useful if you play it right. Finding the best way out of multiple options is the key to victory.

### 3/5 — Looks good but buggy

*2026-08-11*

The graphics are great, and it’s overall a good attempt at a video game adaptation, but the UI is a little awkward, and the game is buggy. I’ve gotten stuck where the game let me start an action that either didn’t have a valid way to complete, or the game didn’t recognize a valid option, and there was no way to back out.

### 5/5 — Super / Great

*2026-01-30*

Excellent. On retrouve les sensations du jeu de plateau en format digital. Same feelings that I have with the board game. Is it possible to have a French translation ? I suppose that Bad Boom Games has the rights of the French translation, it’ll be great to play this game in my native language. Anyway, Thanks for making this game, I hope some expansions will come soon.

### 5/5 — Fun good digital implementation

*2025-12-19*

Great way to play. Really needs swords of the coin to become even better

### 5/5 — Top shelf game

*2025-12-03*

Very fun game and incredibly well made adaptation. ACRAM puts so much care and detail in their work!

### 1/5 — App Won’t even Start

*2025-12-01*

I was excited to try this app.  I play a lot of digital board game apps and have always enjoyed them.  This however won’t even start.  I wish I hadn’t spent my $5 on it at this point.

**Developer response:** Hey there, we’re really sorry you’re running into this issue. Would you mind sharing some details about the device you’re using by emailing us at contact@acram.eu?

### 4/5 — Solid but Glitchy

*2025-11-29*

Solid play but glitchy. Every game I play kicks me out once or twice. Fortunately, it lets you continue reasonably close to where you were pre-glitch. The art is great. The tutorial is excellent.  The rendition is faithful. Hopefully they can patch those nasty bugs.

### 4/5 — Fun little game for 9 bucks

*2025-10-11*

Set a watch digital edition brings the board game to your phone. It’s a fun enough to spend a few minutes on it but doesnt have that addicting quality that other mobile games have.

### 1/5 — Difficulty not leveled

*2025-09-25*

Far too difficult and bad ergonomy ( too many clicks and all data not visible at one glance)

**Developer response:** Hello Gee Bee Fan, if the game feels challenging, you can always set the Difficulty level when starting a new game. If you’re not familiar with the board game rules, we recommend trying the Tutorial first, which is also available during setup.

### 4/5 — Very pretty, but…

*2025-09-22*

How am I supposed to win on the last level? Even with all four party members contributing there are just too many monsters!

**Developer response:** Hello Ishtarru, in the final round, monsters from the Horde join the fight, making it more challenging. :) The key is to keep the Horde under control throughout the whole game so it doesn’t grow too large by the time you reach that last level. Try using runes to thin their numbers early on (this will make the final battle much more manageable). :)

### 1/5 — Really buggy

*2025-09-18*

The cards will lose there text and just be white so you can’t use them or exhaust them. Monsters in the line sometimes disappear so you just get attacked at the end. I think this just missed a few QA and look forward to it getting sorted. For now I wouldn’t recommend as the 2 games I played had massive bugs

**Developer response:** Hi Jonathan, thanks so much for reporting these pesky bugs! Our devs are working on fixing the cards descriptions. Regarding the monster report, could you please send us in-game feedback by clicking the Envelope icon in the main or pause menu? Make sure to check the box for diagnostic data, as it will be very helpful for us to reproduce the issue. :)
