The shadows deepen around your campsite in the first watch of the night. An enemy appears. Rouse your companions!

In the First Watch box, you’ll find 85 verse cards suited by the Fruit of the Spirit. These are divided into a 50-card Lightraider deck and a 35-card Battle deck. You’ll also find rule cards plus a key card to help you use this deck with other Lightraiders games. The Battle deck includes the cards you need to score victories. These are verses used when battling allegorical enemies in the Lightraiders realm.

If you don’t remember the verse referenced on the battle card in play, use a lightraider card from your hand that matches its suit. Or recite a verse from a card in an opponent’s hand. Of course, you can only see the reference on the back of your opponent’s card, so you’ll have to rely on memory.

Lightraiders play this game on the road and at Lightraider Academy to practice sacred verses and prepare for battle. Now you can play First Watch at home. Even better, use your First Watch cards for organization and reference during other lightraider adventures. This set makes a great companion to the original DragonRaid Vintage Boxed Set or Starlots the Game. Game effects are listed on each card, and each card also incorporates a real-life Scripture application to expand your discipleship learning.

Intended as Bible memory verse tool that has been gamified to support an expanded/enhanced play method for DragonRaid and/or Starlots.
