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.
We got it as a gift several years ago, and now I bought it to give as a gift. I highly recommend it!

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.
