Product Description:

More flexible than attribute blocks! More fun than Venn diagrams! It's fast-paced. It's challenging! It's...fun! I fell in love with this game the very moment I saw it. It sounds simple; players race to see which three cards (of the twelve showing) form a "set". There are no turns, no waiting - the quickest to deduce a logical set wins the point. There is no age advantage; your children can beat you if their visual perception in sharper than yours. Even when played alone, the game is a mental challenge. With opponents, the heat is on! MENSA chose this game as a top mind game in 1991 - chosen for originality, intellectual challenge, aesthetics, quality and longevity (you won't quickly tire of this game!). So... are you ready to get Set?

Publisher Description:

The award-winning game challenges players to race to find as many SETs as they can! A SET is three cards where each individual feature (color, shape, number and shading) is either all the same OR all different! The first player to see a SET calls out “SET” and grabs the cards—there are no “turns” and no luck here! And not only is it fast-paced fun, it also builds skills and exercises the brain! Because it has a rule of logic, and because players must apply this rule to the spatial array of patterns all at once, they must use both left brain and right brain thought processes! At the end of the game, the player with the most SETs wins! SET is prefect for a wide age range and number of players (including solo play!), and is a fun intergenerational game as well.

Fun mental exercise
We all like this game (including ages 6 and 4). It is not very aesthetic, but it is a great game. Great for 1 or more players.

There is no need at all to buy the junior version. I taught my children to play starting with finding simple matches (all same color...then all the same shape...all different shading...etc.) then proceeded to more complicated ones (2 qualities same / different) & so forth. We called them 1-point sets (1 quality all same or all different), 2-point sets, 3-point, 4-point.

This game is great for all ages! It was even great for my French Canadian in-laws to play with their English speaking grandchildren! It transends language barriers because it is a card game based on a SET being ALL the SAME or ALL DIFFERENT in EACH of the following characteristics: Number - 1 2 or 3 (of the same picture on a card); Shading - none lined solid; Color - purple red green; Shape - squiggle diamond oval! Sometimes the simplest SETS are the hardest to find! We had to give my in-laws our extra SET to take home! I have found myself giving this game as a present over and over because it travels easily is unique fast paced and everyone that plays it seems to love it It is even fun enough to play solo!

We brought this game to a family reunion Kids and adults alike had a great time playing this game together People shout out "Set!" whenever they see one; sometimes it moves very quickly and sometimes people study the cards for one or more minutes After explanation of the rules even my son (4 yrs 1 month) could find sets When playing with adults the 7-year-old and 10-year-old cousins ended up with more points than the adults playing We did have to play another separate game with my 4- and 6-year-olds only because the 6-year-old got frustrated that her older cousins were calling "Set!" too quickly for her It is a compact game and it feels like you are "stretching" your brain when you play Even my aunt (60 years old) played
