Set is a fun and challenging game that tests your skills of memory and observation. Called the family game of visual perception, Set boasts 20 “best game” awards. Using unique cards with varied attributes, players must identify different kinds of 3-card sets.SET is a card game of quick recognition and deduction. Each card contains one of three symbols (squiggles, diamonds, ovals) in varying numbers (up to three), colors (purple, green, red), and degrees of shading. A dealer arranges 12 cards, face up, and the players–without taking turns–hastily scrutinize the images for logical “sets” of three cards linked by combinations of sameness or difference. It’s not as complicated as it sounds: examples include a trio of paired ovals with increasing levels of shading between cards, or disparate symbols in different colors which increase in number on each card (card one has a green squiggle, card two a pair of purple ovals, card three a trio of diamonds). The trick is to keep calm while trying to make the rapid connections. The Darwinian nature of the game (remember: everyone plays simultaneously) is certain to cause some feistiness among more competitive players. –Tom Keogh

You will be seeing these shapes in your sleep Highly addictive game because there are no turns, just every body whaling away at once.

This is a very simple game to learn and very hard to master. First time players will get frustrated very easily if they are playing with SET veterans. The idea is to match any…
The best since chess This game is the best invention since chess, if you want to improve your child’s thinking ability! When I taught gifted students in grades 2-8, they would beg to play it. Kids would say over and over, “It”s hard, but it’s fun”. I read that it is an activity where the right brain and the left brain work together. The best thing about it is that it is not dependent on age or reading ability. There are 6 year olds who could beat me, and there are adults I can beat. A group of…
Game loving family This educational game is extremely fun. Of the 7 members of our family – 5 of us play very often. We even invite company over to play! Our youngest who is 6 enjoys this game and can beat mom at 40! The other 5 children also are extremely fond of the game. The only problem that we have encountered is that sometimes 2 or more people yell “SET” at the same time. We have solved that proplem by incorporating a bell from a different game set next to the 12 cards to ring instead of…
