Set Review
I am a high school math teacher and when I introduced my students to this game they all went wild over it. I have my Algebra, Geometry, Advanced Algebra and Trig students begging to play! It's easy to teach the rules and it improves their spatial reasoning. I LOVE IT!

Just a so-so game. Hard to catch onto at first.
I like the game to play it alone so what sense is getting a game? I could play solitaire. But it is kind of a neat concept but like I said, not so great to play in a group.

Awesome for everyone!
I first saw this game in a public-radio catalog about 10 years ago, but never played it until this past holiday when 29 family members gathered for Christmas. A cousin brought it, and once everyone knew how to play, there would be people joining a game right and left! Tons of fun and easy to understand once you get the hang of it, I plan on buying Set as a gift for many friends. Highly recommended!

wins awards for a reason
This game is like Tetris (but different!) in a deck of cards. Uses different parts of your brain: the logical sequential thinking part (where you figure it out) and the visual gestalt part (where you just "see" it). Simple enough for children to play (at least about 7 or 8 years old is best) and complex enough that you can get really good at it. Works as solitaire and as a game for two to about six people. I bought 5 sets of Set this time because I am sick of running out. Always giving them away. I've been a Set fan for about 8 years now and it's still cool.

Not an easy card game, but fun!!
I had purchased Five Crowns from this game maker and thought I would give Set a try. Like many "simple" games, this one is harder to master than one might think at first. Set is a pattern identification game and if your mind is bent in that direction, you will do well. Part of the game is also being able to identify when there is NOT a pattern. These aspects make this game a challenge. A great game for folks above about 13 or so. It gets extremely frustrating for kids and my teenager walked away in frustration while the rest of us were hollering out patterns. If you want a game for a family get together that is mostly adults, give this one a try. If you want a game for your family that includes young kids, look for something a little more age appropriate.

Fun Game for all ages
This is a great game - much harder than I thought it would be but you can start out in steps and then advance to harder stages of the game.
I would recommend this game to all ages.

Great family fun for all ages!
SET is one of my favorite games! I bought three of them over the holidays as, whenever we play with someone new, we have "hooked" SET player -- we've given away several of our own games of SET.
This game is an excellent choice for family fun -- ages ranging from pre-school to mature adults. It also is amazingly suited to children and adults who are mentally challenged or with learning disabilities.
It's a challenging game of pattern recognition and one of the most entertaining, easy-to-play games for a group or classroom.
SET makes a great gift choice for birthdays, host gifts, holidays, congratulations celebrations, teachers -- and it's makes a wonderful family gift. Do what I do -- buy a few to keep [[ASIN:B00000IV34 SET Game]]on hand for last minute gift giving!

Great for all ages!!
I have shared this game with several people (children and adults), and they were all skeptical at first, you know, rolling of the eyes... But EVERYONE gets into it! Set is a great game to help with concentration, focusing on details, and looking for the 'not so obvious'. So far, the children have been able to pick it up very quickly, and tend to improve faster than their parents. I love this game because families can play it together with the parents having no real advantage over the younger kids.
Because it's a "card game" that doesn't require the little ones to try holding a fanned out 'hand', it's a great game for them to start with. Just don't play when tired, your brain will freeze up. :)

An Awesome Game
This game is the most fun card game out there. I learned to play in my high school Pre-Calculus class and after that, we would beg the teacher to play. This game really makes you think hard and really get into the game. I would recommend this game to everyone. It's pretty simple to get, and once you get it, you will love it!!! Play this game, it's so addicting!!

SET Game
This is a great game. It's challenging, but good for almost all ages. There's a lot to think about when you're playing, so it works the brain, but it's a lot of fun, as well. It's interesting to see how different people see things, because each person playing will find different kinds of sets. I recommed this highly.

Awesome thinking game.
This game makes you THINK!! It's fun for adults (I have used it at an adults only coffee klatch), and for kids (my 7-yr old daughter LOVES this game). Highly recommended if you like any sort of puzzle/math/quick matching games.

Fun game for your brain!
I was first introduced to this game about a year ago and I can't get enough of it! It's a great game to play at a party because it's easy to drop in and out of it. It's also a fun game to play solo. Great for all ages! A friend just told me that her school used this game to choose children for the gifted program in her elementary school.

SET is a great game to pay with two or more players. I love how the game makes you think out side of the box to find a SET. If you enjoy this game try the daily on-line SET puzzle. I try to solve the on-line version in under two minutes....great stimlulus for keeping older folks brain in top working order!

Brain Power Galore!
This is a great game. I'm a 32 year old student finishing up my teaching degree. I was introduced to this game by my professors to use in the classroom. It's a great game and has won honors by many societies for being so educational. Mensa (unsure of spelling) even gave this game an award.
This is definitely a game for older children and adults - I would guess that 4th grade a up would offer the best results.
Anyway... great game for all, educational. The only reason I gave the game a 4 for durability is because it's a set of cards. Cards never last as long as you would like.

An amazing game
Set is an absolutely amazing game. It's what my roommate and I do instead of homework. Not only is the game a lot of fun, but it is also a great mind game because you have to think quickly and use logic to make sets. One game always seems to turn into seven since it is super addictive to play.

fun for our kids and our friends
This card game was recomended through my homeschool support group. I started out playing it with my 8-year old son, who got the hang of it quite easily from checking out the website for the Set game (www.setgame.com/set). Then, my 6-year old daughter peeked in on us and started finding sets, so she joined in. When I play with adult friends (who can get a bit argumentative and aggressive, by the way), we can let the game go on for quite a while, with folks coming and going from the game as they please. With the kids, we set a timer for 30 minutes and count up our cards at the end. Since this is a card game, I like to take it in my bag to keep us busy in doctors' offices and on car trips (we need a cookie tray to keep the cards from sliding all over).

SET 'Em Up!
I originally purchased SET 5 years ago when I taught technology education to students with special needs. I was doing a unit on game creation, and wanted the students to experience a lot of different games before they created their own. The game is not terribly hard, but it is also not a cake-walk. You're challenged to create groups of 3 matching symbols: they either have to ALL have the characteristic, or have NONE of a characteristic. The descriptive features include colors, shape, fill and number. For many of my students with visual learning disabilities, this game was confusing and tough. My students with autism spectrum disorders enjoyed the game, however, especially if they were skilled at "seeing pictures", and because the game did not require a high amount of socialization. The company has a website that, at one point, allowed you
to download a computer version of the game.

This is a FUN game
My girlfriend and I play this occasional, and both love it, even though we don't think alike (what guy and girl do!!). After playing a few times (very evenly matched) it was interesting to discover we look for different types of sets from each other.

A fun game of pattern recognition
Set is a fun game with simple rules that improves your pattern recognition skills. It is easy to carry around, being only slightly larger than a deck of cards.
The games can become one-sided though, if one player is significantly better than the others. In this case, a time handicap (eg a 3 second delay) or tweaking the scoring (eg different players need different number of sets to win) can help balance the games.
