Set A Watch: Forsaken Isles

Players take the role of a band of adventurers who sail between tropical isles and set up camp each night to fend off hordes and powerful bosses. Each round players assign one hero to tend the campfire while the others fight, roll dice, play abilities and manage resources to prevent the fire from going out. Locations change every night and introduce new threats to adapt to over eight rounds. New heroes add distinct mechanics: a coin-earning corsair who gambles to alter dice outcomes, a druid with a personal nature deck that summons animals and enables shapeshifts, an earth golem that uses d12s and stores earth essence to boost poor rolls, and a fire sorceress who draws power from the campfire but must balance offense with rekindling the flame. The game supports 1–4 players and can integrate with previous entries in the series.
