15:53 - You can heal not just you (on camp) but other adventurers (on watch) as well. So later - here at 1:00:23 - you could've heal the Monk (who spent his camp actions and was very hurt) and heal the barbarian twice anyway (with her class special). 29:43 - Not every Summon exhaust you an ability. There are different types of Summon Card effects and some doesn't exhaust adventurer's abilities. But of course in your case you choose 2 of the default Summons who do exhaust, so it's technically right. Kudos for fixing the other minor mistakes while editing. Overall that was a very good playthrough (one of the best Set A Watch playthroughs on youtube - I've watched them all, since this is on of my favorite games of all time). Very solid decision making. It shows how easy the game could be if you manage to solve the "puzzle" well enough. And you did it with flying colors. I don't see mistakes that make you won - you just played very well. People are complaining the game is too hard and other are saying it's too easy - and it's all depending on how well you play it. That makes the game actually perfectly balanced, because you can't make it easier if people already feel it's easy and you can't make it harder if other people already feel it's hard. It's just a great game with huge luck mitigation opportunities and a great puzzle that depend strictly on your solving prowess. I am still waiting for my Sword of the Coin copy (I'm in Europe and devs have problems with the shipping crisis), but I see the expansion have harder Creatures (with much more nasty Reveal and First Position effects), however the super useful and powerful items are balancing it overall. Such an amazing game with a great expansion. And they planned it to be a trilogy so a third instalment is coming in the future. I would love to see more Set A Watch playthroughs from you, Colin. You are definitely one of the best board games youtubers.
I totally forgot I can heal others not just myself at camp thanks for reminding me! Really appreciate the nice comments and I agree on your comments on difficulty! The base monsters too I feel like are harder than these guys!
14:30 " ... and remember you can activate your abilities with any numbered die ..." points to the abilities of the Barbarian, who CAN'T activate abilities with dice - LOL Just tickled me XD - great video Colin! I've been meaning to get this played.
I have the kickstater copies of the deluxe orignial game, deluxe swords of the coin, outriders expansion, and cloth map, all new unopened in wrap. let me know if you want to buy!
I have played Set A Watch several times and it has always been a challenge. I once had 19 cards in the last round! I lost. This did seem easier but may be down to luck? I haven't played my copy yet but am looking forward to giving it a try.
@@OneStopCoopShop played the original last night and got to the end with all abilities exhausted and 17 cards in the horde! Gave up! Tried Swords of the Coin this afternoon. First game I had all abilities exhausted by the end of round two. Second game I had 6 abilities exhausted and 3 cards going into the horde......at the end of round one! I was done by the end of round two. I am really bad at this game?! Putting it back in the cupboard, never to take it out again!?
It was long but I found it entertaining. Agree that it seemed easier than the base game but that could be down to luck? Looking forward to getting my copy soon!
It appears that the merchant has made the game to easy compared to the original. Looking forward to my copy arriving though I will probably just use some of the new characters and monsters with the original game instead of the merchant to make it tougher.
I think it's more the enemies. If you don't play with the merchant then the bounty hunter is not playable. I'd recommend trying the enemies from the base first!
It honestly looks like the enemies are easier on this expansion. I’m playing the base game and there’s not one creature under 7 hp. Always running out of dice!
I just love the theme of this game (and expansions) and can't wait to get this game. Side note: I am actually working on designing a game that has a lot in common with this game which makes me want to play this game even more for inspiration.
to me it seems like a high level of luck when you play, sometimes you just can't win regardless of skill if you get low rolls and monsters keep combo on you
Very good playthrough. Helped me to learn the game. Thanks Colin!

I'm gonna print the Pocket Watch, all your suggestions in the end were done in this version, like 5 rounds and 1 rest.
Just bought set a watch and had a really fun time playing it, this playthrough makes me want to get this version too!

Just tickled me XD - great video Colin! I've been meaning to get this played.
Hahaha!! So true didn't even think of that!! Thanks for watching Joel!
Set a Watch is one of my favorites. So annoyed that this fell under my radar. Thanks for the video!
I hope you can pick it up! Thanks for watching!!

Whoot!!
10:39 Doesn't that location card say to remove coins from the camp board, not your current pool of coins?
Huh never thought of it that way but yeah maybe you are right! Maybe you are right?!!
Great game. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!!
Nice playthrough! Waiting for my copy (+base) to arrive in the UK, we're last!
I hope you get it soon! Thanks for watching!

19??!! Holy moly!! Have fun with your copy!

Might just be rotten luck!
Where did you get that monster place mat? 😗
Colin is with Meet Me at the Table now, so you’d need to ask him over there 😅

It certainly can i think! Thanks for watching and hope you get your copy soon!
Nice playthrough, but the game felt super easy...and now i have doubts if i should purchase it or not
I know ib think it had to do with the outriders enemies. The ones that come in the box are challenging!! Thanks for watching!!

I'm with you!
i just bought the base game. its a very fun game but in about the 6 games ive played so far i havent won a single game lol.
The base game is brutal!! This one is easier!
I just love the theme of this game (and expansions) and can't wait to get this game.

Nice!!
to me it seems like a high level of luck when you play, sometimes you just can't win regardless of skill if you get low rolls and monsters keep combo on you
It sure is luck dependent but I like how low dice can be used on skills
When you accidentally dislike the video😱😱😱😱
This has been corrected haha
Haha!! Thanks for correcting it and for watching!!
@@OneStopCoopShop love watching your stuff. Dislike that I don’t have all of these games 😂😂
Haha!! I can understand that!
