SET Enterprises SET - The Family Card Game of Visual Perception - Race to Fin...

This game is great! Simple yet complex. There aren't many mechanics to it, but it's still challenging. There's a simple version to the game and a more complex version, depending on how many cards you use. The basic idea is that there are 4 qualities to a card, the shape, the color, the number of shapes on the card, and the shade of the shapes (blank, shaded, solid). In a setup of 12 cards, the first person to spot and call "Set" gets to attempt to take three cards that have all of the aspects of the card either all the SAME or all DIFFERENT. For example: All three have to be the same color, or all different colors; you can't have two purple and one green, they have to either be all one color or three different colors. They all have to be ONEs or a set of one, two, three. They all have to be diamonds (for example) or all different shapes (diamond, circle, squiggle). And, finally, they all have to be solid or all different (one solid, one shaded, one blank) in the more challenging version. The great thing about this game is that it's good for gamers who are really into other, more complicated games, but also great for kids, families and other people who aren't normally into "serious" games. Great for a tabletop game day OR a family game night. It's simple, compact, easy to carry/travel with and a quick enough play time that even someone with a short attention span for games can still enjoy.

Very fun game for a variety of ages and abilities. Compact to take with you when meeting others.

Easy game, super fun, anyone can learn it in five minutes and it provides a ton of laughs and gets your brain working. Also great for traveling with! This is a perfect game to kill 30mins-1hr with a friend or a whole group of friends and family. Love it! One minor note is the box doesn’t hold up great, but we moved it into a little card tin so we don’t really mind.

This is a fast and fun game. Easy to learn. Can be played with any number of players. Easy to transport.

We really enjoy Quiddler which for young and old is a fun to play and good for your brain involving spelling and counting. You can play with just 2 players or more and really stimulating. Can be played in a long haul plane ride or in the airport. At home on the beach. Or in the bed or where ever you are

easy, fast paced game that is great for small or large groups! we bought karma king to mix with the original game to be able to play with larger groups. This game is fun for groups as small as 3-4 players and, with two decks, up to groups as large as 10!

I love Set! It's been like 15 years since my first game and honestly, I don' think I'll ever get tired of this game. It is repetitive, but if you buy the game knowing the replay value, you'll find that is a pro, not a con. It's useful because the simple gameplay makes it an easy task for your hands to keep busy while allowing you to focus on the conversation if you're in a chatty mood, and to pretend to be thinking deeply if you have nothing to add to the current conversation. The best thing about Set to me is that it grows with you. Here's how Set has aged with me over the years: A teacher in elementary school had a copy that was a popular go-to game for many students. We were competitive so it helped us practice speed, coordination, and social skills. This game is small, slightly taller than a regular deck of cards so it generally fits in a purse/bookbag, making it great for middle and high school-ers with limited space/weight. Granted, I grew up during the days before most students had smart phones so things might be a bit different now... Anyway, I prefer Set to regular card games like BS, 13, ERS, and etc. because the rules do not vary based on who you are playing with aside from "is this round a let's-slam-our-hands-down-and-hand-on-bottom-wins kind of game or the polite I-called-Set-first kind of game?" because people either know how to play or don't. It's a great game to bond over, especially when everyone's brains are mush from homework and lessons. In college, I didn't have a copy, but I can tell you that simple and quick games like this are attractive to everyone in the room, even drunk people. You can even set up in public places like dorm lobbies to make new friends with similar interests when fellow students stop by to ask what you are playing - who knows, you might have a new study-buddy or future roommate! After college, it's been a great first game of the night for the the host(-ess) and early birds who are waiting on the rest of the attendees to arrive (-or finish grabbing/eating food) since people can jump in and out as they like. Also great as a drinking game! Very good way to chill out with friends who refuse to play epic/long/complicated games like Monopoly, Catan, Betrayal...etc. Nothing builds a bond quite like a competitive game of Set! Anyway, here are some other things worth considering: It's a decent budget gift. Group size is pretty much limited to the size of the table. Everyone must have a decent line of sight. I've played with like 12 people at once before. Color blind individuals may not enjoy this game unfortunately. My only other complaint is that my first purchased copy of Set came in the pictured box with a crumpled corner, like super fan-like crumples about 1 in x 1 in. I was amazed that the cards inside weren't ruined. Luckily I didn't have to ask for new copy because the cards were fine. Just be ready in case you buy it as a gift or like to have nice pristine game boxes that that can occur. None of my subsequent like 5 gift purchases came crumpled so it doesn't seem to happen often so may have been a 1 time thing.

Love the game, great for everyone
