Product Description
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.
Editorial Review
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

this is a great game. was recently introduced to it on a science street fair in NYC. the kids loved it so i got the game for home.
its fun and challenging. does not need to be played competitively in case the pressure it too much on the younger kids. see apple app version for game ideas.
PS. gave it three stars for durability because its just as durable as any other card game.
A game that plays tricks with your eyes June 28, 2010

I played this game after it was introduced to me a couple years ago. It is a game where you have to make a set of three cards that have different colors, shapes, number, and fill types by finding three cards that have three of these distinct characteristics. After you stare at all those shapes for a while, your eyes start playing tricks on you. You think you see one when in fact it is not.
I registered for this for my wedding and bought it with gift cards I had received. Now that I have it, my husband and I play all the time. Great for people that like chance and challenge, but if you can put this in front of a bunch of kids in a classroom (as I did), it keeps the room quiet for a long time.

My mother bought this game for my daughter who was 5 at the time. She was really good at it from the start, it took me a little longer. It is a great game to play to keep the mind sharp and challenge it. My daughter is 7 now and we still enjoy this game. I highly recommend for ages 5 to 100 :)
