Toys and Games Reviews of Set
Customer Review: fun for our kids and our friends
Summary: 5 Stars
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).Customer Review: The best since chess
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is the best invention since chess, if you want to improve your child's thinking ability! When I taught gifted students in grades 2-8, they would beg to play it. Kids would say over and over, "It''s hard, but it's fun". I read that it is an activity where the right brain and the left brain work together. The best thing about it is that it is not dependent on age or reading ability. There are 6 year olds who could beat me, and there are adults I can beat. A group of all ages can play together competitively, and no one has to hold back. Also, it is very light and portable for travel, or for just having handy if people are bored.. I take the cards out of the case, put a rubber band around them, and put them in my bag.Customer Review: Great game for family fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
We played it first at a friend's place with his 4 year old and seven year old sons. We got so hooked onto it that we bought a SET for ourselves and a couple of gift SETs as well!
It is very fun and easy to learn even for young children. However, it is not a "winding down" or "relaxing" game - it charges you up as your brain is constantly on the lookout for the matching patterns.
There are no limits on number of players - it can be played by as few as two players, or as many as you want. The same set of cards has so many different ways of making sets that each game is totally different.
Best of all, it is like a pack of cards, so you can carry it with you easily on trips and play anywhere.
Customer Review: Great for all ages!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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. :)
Customer Review: A game that plays tricks with your eyes
Summary: 5 Stars
I played this game after it was introduced to me a couple years ago. It is a game where you have to make a set of three cards that have different colors, shapes, number, and fill types by finding three cards that have three of these distinct characteristics. After you stare at all those shapes for a while, your eyes start playing tricks on you. You think you see one when in fact it is not.
I registered for this for my wedding and bought it with gift cards I had received. Now that I have it, my husband and I play all the time. Great for people that like chance and challenge, but if you can put this in front of a bunch of kids in a classroom (as I did), it keeps the room quiet for a long time.
