This award winning card game is for one or more players. It is recommended for ages six and above. The object of the game is to identify "sets" of three cards. Each card is unique in its four features; color - red, green or purple, symbol - diamond, squiggle or oval, shading - solid, striped or open, and number - 1, 2 or 3. A "set" consists of three cards on which each feature is either the same on all of the cards, or different on all of the cards. This game contains complete instructions for play, 81 cards, and a durable plastic carrying case. 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

Customer Rating: Summary: Great analytical game Comment: This is a very creative and fun new game. It is great for developing and recognizing strong analytical and problem solving skills. Product is high quality and seems durable. Customer Rating: Summary: Love at first Set! Comment: I was introduced to this game in college and have been addicted to it for about 8 years now. It is a clever and satisfying matching game that can be played alone or with friends and family. This summer I introduced the game to my extended family and they got so addicted that at least two of them now have their own set of Set. Highly recommended for visual people or those who want a good brain exercise.
