Toys and Games Reviews of Set
Customer Review: Great fun for competitive types
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend introduced me to SET, and we're hooked! SET is one of the games that keeps you coming back, even long after you've *mastered* it. The fact that everyone plays at the same time keeps it interesting, and the game definitely keeps you on your toes. All in all, it's a great game that's suitable for the entire family. We have modified the game rules slightly to play with younger players (<8 years old). We use a timer and take turns, giving the younger players a chance to see the SET without the pressure of beating other players.I would also recommend Quiddler, which is made by the same company, as well as Phase 10, a rummy style game.
Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
We enjoy playing this game by ourselves and with friends. There's no limit to how many can play this game, the more the merrier! It is confusing at first but once you get how to play it (usually the second time around our friends were pros at it) it is very engaging. It is based on visual observations and lots of cognitive sorting of different combinations of cards. it is very simple, portable, great travel game... only needs a flat surface to lay out the cards. this game is also great fro all ages. it is great fir children to develop patience, observation and thinking skills, and it is great for adults to keep the brain working :)Customer Review: Precalc fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've played this game since I was about six years old and absolutely adore it. It stretches your mind but is still fun! It is also incredibly addicting and as such has become quite a phenomenon at my school. After I introduced it, we began playing regularly in French II and Precalc! The only problem with it is that if one player is considerably better than the others, it can become a bit annoying. My suggestion for this, if you have many players, is to make the winner of each round the next dealer, giving everyone a chance to contribute. My cards are over 9 years old now, and still going strong! Pick up a copy today!Customer Review: 5 Stars
I first learned how to play this when I was in first grade, but it's better for ages 9&up. Anyway, you're trying to match groups of three cards in different ways. They have to be either completely the same or completely different in all of these three categories: Shading (solid, shaded, or empty), Color (red, green, purple,)and shape(squigglies, ovals, and diamonds) My sister and I are better at this than our dad, but it's really easy to be way ahead one moment and really far behind the next. To make things even harder, although there are sets of various difficulties, every set is worth the same amount of points:1!Customer Review: Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband had played this game at a friend's house and enjoyed it. I purchased it and skimmed through the rules before playing with family. I didn't read them closely and made the game much more difficult than it needed to be. After playing a couple of rounds with people frustrated and unimpressed, my husband set us straight and we have enjoyed it ever since. My husband and I like fast paced games and this isn't incredibly fast with two people, but when there are more eyes, the pace picks up. I have also found that the more we have played it, the quicker we get at it, though it is still plenty challenging.
