Toys and Games Reviews of Set
Customer Review: Set is fun and educational!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed every game from SET Enterprises that I have tried. Set is my favorite game. I have found that people either love it or hate it, depending on how good they are at it. The game consists of laying down 9 cards and finding visual sets of three. The characteristics of the shapes must be all the same or all different- number, color, design, and shape. SET Enterprises is great, because if you lose or damage a card, they will replace it. This game is fun to play with kids and adults alike, or even by yourself. You can even play a daily SET game online. I highly recommend this game to test your own smarts!Customer Review: Brain Power Galore!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Thinking Intensive Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
My seven year old daughter loves to play set. It is a great game because after you know the rules, age is not such an important factor in winning. When we first started playing, I trained my daughter by working with her to identify all the sets. I let her look at all the cards and identify sets. Then I would give her clues for other sets that I saw. Pretty soon, she was just as good or better than me at playing this game. I think it would be a great game to play in a classroom. One problem with this game is that there are not enough examples given in the instuctions as to what constitutes a set.Customer Review: Want A FUN, Challenging Game? Try "Set"
Summary: 5 Stars
Set is great for young to old, can be played alone or with others. Can be played with or without scoring, and there is a computer version available, but the cards are the best, and you may want to start with them. At first it will seem confusing, but then your mind will "get it" and take over. I started playing Set about 20 years ago, and as a high school math teacher, kept games and challenges in my room for students who finished work or tests early. "Set" was the MOST popular, and parents would come to Parent Conferences asking, "What is this game they talk about all the time, something about Set?"Customer Review: Not just for little kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I first played this game last year, at a study-abroad program. Games would start with just two players, but pretty soon we would have a whole crowd of people gathering in and playing. The game is very fun and enthralling. It may seem like it is not very educational in the traditional sense (one doesn't learn facts nor counting) but it exercises your mind, and makes you think in different ways, so I would say that it is quite educational in that context. As it is a card game, it's durability is based on how well you take care of it, and the cards don't bend easily, but they do bend a bit.
